Background: Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) is a method to measure cerebral hemodynamics. Determining the changes in prefrontal cortex (PFC) hemodynamics during dual-task paradigms is essential in explaining alterations in physical activities, especially in older adults.
Aims: To systematically review and meta-analyze the effects of dual-task paradigms on PFC hemodynamics in older adults.
