In order to distinguish dysfunctional gait, clinicians require a measure of reference gait
parameters for each population. This study provided normative values for widely used …

As we age, there is a wide range of changes in motor, sensory, cognitive, and temporal
processing due to alterations in the functioning of the central nervous and musculoskeletal …

Tripping is considered a major cause of fall in older people. Therefore, foot clearance (ie,
height of the foot above ground during swing phase) could be a key factor to better …

Background: Many issues prevent elderly individuals from exercising in daily life. There is a
need for a system that allows elderly individuals to engage in exercise regularly at a low …

Gait can reflect locomotion and physical condition and thus is used to assess people's
health. Traditional high-precision gait analysis devices are expensive and are limited to …

In this paper we review the effects of aging on sensory systems and their impact on posture,
balance and gait. We also address cognitive aging and attempt to specify which altered …

To establish a supportive technology for reducing the risk of falling in older people, it is
essential to clarify gait characteristics in elderly individuals that are possibly linked to the risk …

Falls represent a major public health problem in older people, predominantly due to the
resulting injuries which lead to progressive disability, immobilization and resulting …

Cognitive resources contribute to balance control. There is evidence that mental fatigue
reduces cognitive resources and impairs balance performance, particularly in older adults …

Aging is associated with sensory, motor and cognitive impairments that may lead to reduced
daily life functioning including gait disturbances, falls, injuries and mobility restrictions. A …
