Background Gait pattern coordination is affected by several factors (eg, neurodegeneration),
while aging is known to have a significant negative impact. Various gait parameters, such as …

Human gait is symmetric and bilaterally coordinated in young healthy persons. In this study,
we aimed to explore the differences in bilateral coordination of gait as measured by the …

The bilateral coordination of locomotion has been described in detail in animal studies and
to some degree in man; however, the mechanisms that contribute to the bilateral …

Background Arm movements during gait are known to alter with increasing age during the
slow maturation phase (> 3years). It is unclear whether coordination between the arms and …

Background The Phase coordination index (PCI), a temporal gait measure that quantifies
consistency and accuracy in generating the anti-phased left-right stepping pattern, assesses …

Most studies investigating aging of gait have focused on specific parameters ie, speed,
stride length etc. to quantify age related changes. Comprehensive gait analysis produces …

Background Impairment in gait domains such as pace, rhythm, and variability are associated
with falls, cognitive decline, and dementia. However, the longitudinal changes in these gait …

Background Multiple aspects of gait are typically impaired post-stroke. Asymmetric gait is
common as a consequence of unilateral brain lesions. The relationship between the …

Gait variability, defined as the fluctuation in spatiotemporal characteristics between steps, is
suggested to be a sensitive indicator of mobility deficits with aging and pathological …

Backgrounds Gait disorder is associated with cognitive functional impairment, and this
disturbance is more pronouncedly when performing additional cognitive tasks. Our study …
