Abstract

Inter-limb transfer refers to the phenomenon whereby unilateral motor-skill training induces performance gains in both the trained limb and in the opposite, untrained limb. Evidence indicates that older adults exhibit a reduction in the capacity for inter-limb transfer following training on a simple ballistic movement task, but not after training on a complex task. Evidence also suggests that age-related over-activity in bilateral motor cortices may underlie the differential inter-limb transfer evident after simple and complex tasks in elderly adults.
