Abstract

The ability to precisely integrate sensory information is critical to everyday functions, including balance/postural control and navigation. Older adults typically integrate sensory information over longer time delays than younger adults, which can reduce the precision of their perceptual judgments. This is particularly evident in older adults with a recent history of falls. However, the extent to which longitudinal patterns of falling or fall risk are associated with the precision of multisensory integration in older adults remains uncertain.
