Brain and walking performance: response to challenges. The brain responds to the age-related changes to fix walking performance. Both compensation (use of greater body capacities) and adapt/restore (learn strategies to optimize capacities) can result in good walking performance. Compensation differs from restoration in the both the resources used (effort) and the feedback provided to the brain.
