Effects of exercise and nutrition supplementation in community-dwelling older Chinese people with sarcopenia: a randomized controlled trial
TLDR
The exercise program with and without nutrition supplementation had no significant effect on the primary outcome of gait speed but improved the secondary outcomes of strength and the five-chair stand test in community-dwelling Chinese sarcopenic older adults.

The use of peripheral vision to guide perturbation-evoked reach-to-grasp balance-recovery reactions
TLDR
This study investigated how the CNS resolves speed-accuracy trade-offs when forced to use PV to guide perturbation-evoked reach-to-grasp balance-recovery reactions and found that forced reliance on PV did not compromise ability to achieve a functional grasp and recover equilibrium.

Footwear width and balance-recovery reactions: A new approach to improving lateral stability in older adults.
TLDR
A small increase in sole width can improve certain aspects of lateral stability in older adults, without compromising mobility and agility, and this finding supports the viability of WBOS footwear as an intervention to improve balance.

Reaching to recover balance in unpredictable circumstances: Is online visual control of the reach-to-grasp reaction necessary or sufficient?
TLDR
Results indicated that equilibrium could be recovered successfully by grasping the handhold using either online-VSI or stored-V SI to guide the arm reaction; however, both sources of VSI were required for optimal performance.

Investigation of the sedative and congnitive effects of cyclobenzaprine compared with diphenhydramine and placebo using a computerized test battery
TLDR
A battery of tests used here would appear to be useful for assessing sedation, and there was a small but mainly nonsignificant trend for subjects receiving cyclobenzaprine to do worse at the first test session.

Does aging impair the capacity to use stored visuospatial information or online visual control to guide reach-to-grasp reactions evoked by unpredictable balance perturbation?
TLDR
Situations that force the central nervous system to rely on either stored or online VSI tend to exacerbate age-related reductions in speed and accuracy of reach-to-grasp balance-recovery reactions.
