There has been growing evidence showing gait variability provides unique information
about gait characteristics in neurological disorders. This study systemically reviewed and …

The study of gait variability, the stride-to-stride fluctuations in walking, offers a
complementary way of quantifying locomotion and its changes with aging and disease as …

Until recently, quantitative studies of walking have typically focused on properties of a typical
or average stride, ignoring the stride-to-stride fluctuations and considering these fluctuations …

Gait and balance disorders are common in older adults and are a major cause of falls in this
population. They are associated with increased morbidity and mortality, as well as reduced …

Background. Executive function (EF) deficits may increase fall risk, even among older adults
with no overt cognitive impairment. Indeed, the effects of dual tasking (DT) on gait, a …

The objectives of the present study were to test the hypothesis that the dual‐tasking effect on
gait variability is larger in healthy older adults than it is in healthy young adults; that this …

Under basal resting conditions most healthy physiologic systems demonstrate highly
irregular, complex dynamics that represent interacting regulatory processes operating over …

Background: gait variability may be an important predictor of falls risk, but its characteristics
are poorly understood. Objective: to examine the relationship between age and gait …

In this article, we briefly summarize the incidence and significant consequences of falls
among older adults, the insufficient effectiveness of commonly used multifactorial …
