Although old people make up an extremely vulnerable road-user group, older pedestrians'
difficulties have been studied less extensively than those of older drivers, and more …

In a typical clinical gait analysis, the gait patterns of pathological individuals are commonly
compared with the typically faster, comfortable pace of healthy subjects. However, due to …

Technologies that capture and analyze movement patterns for diagnostic or therapeutic
purposes are a major locus of innovation in the United States. Several studies have …

To walk efficiently over complex terrain, humans must use vision to tailor their gait to the
upcoming ground surface without interfering with the exploitation of passive mechanical …

Healthy walking is characterized by pronounced arm swing and axial rotation. Aging effects
on gait speed, stride length and stride time variability have been previously reported …

The purposes of this study were to determine if healthy older adults adopt strategies to
decrease the likelihood of obstacle contact, and to determine how these strategies are …

Background Age-associated physiological changes result in modified gait, such as slower
speed, for older adults. Identifying the onset of age-related gait changes will provide insight …

Background Aging, being a natural process, involves many functional and structural
changes within the body. Identifying the age-related postural changes will provide insight …

Introdução: O envelhecimento desencadeia alterações da marcha e aumenta o risco de
quedas e o medo de cair, comprometendo a saúde e a capacidade funcional do idoso …

Background. This study tested the agreement between a markerless motion capture system
and force-plate system (“gold standard”) to quantify stability control and motor performance …
