Background Muscular parameters have been considered to influence gait of older adults,
but it is still unclear which specific lower limb muscular parameters correlate with kinematics …

Aims: This study examined lower limb performance in older sedentary patients with
Parkinson's disease (PD). Methods: Fourteen female patients with mild to moderate PD and …

Older adults are increasingly being encouraged to exercise but this may lead to muscle
fatigue, which can adversely affect postural stability. Few studies have investigated the …

Previous studies have identified differences in gait kinetics between healthy older and
young adults. However, the underlying factors that cause these changes are not well …

This study investigated the contribution of muscle architecture to the differences in the torque–
velocity and power–velocity relationships between older (OM n= 9, aged 69–82 years) and …

Background The root mean square surface electromyographic activity of lumbar extensor
muscles during dynamic trunk flexion and extension from a standing position and task …

Background. Muscle power is related to mobility function in older adults, and effective power
production requires rapid neuromuscular activation. Accordingly, this study examines the …

Objectives We aimed to assess the correlation between muscle strength and muscle mass
based on sex and age, and their association with walking speed, which is a health predictor …

Background. Recently, several studies have reported age-associated increases in muscle
coactivation during postural control. A rigid posture induced by strong muscle coactivation …

Background Fatigability and postural control deficits are both serious concerns in a variety of
chronic musculoskeletal conditions. Research has shown that muscle fatigue may adversely …
