Human gait depends on a complex interplay of major parts of the nervous, musculoskeletal
and cardiorespiratory systems. The individual gait pattern is influenced by age, personality …

Background Aging is often associated with changes in the musculoskeletal system,
peripheral and central nervous system. These age-related changes often result in mobility …

This study aimed to identify the optimal features of gait parameters to predict the fall risk
level in older adults. The study included 746 older adults (age: 63–89 years). Gait tests (20 …

Background Aging is often accompanied by a decline in sensory, motor and cognitive
functions. These age-and lifestyle-related impairments may lead to reduced daily life …

Key points The endogenous molecular clock in skeletal muscle is necessary for
maintenance of phenotype and function. Loss of Bmal1 solely from adult skeletal muscle …

Maintaining sufficient muscle strength is fundamental to prevent a decline in basic physical
functions such as gait, and is therefore a prerequisite for a healthy independent life in older …

Walking is an extraordinarily complex task requiring integration of the entire nervous system,
making gait susceptible to a variety of underlying neurologic abnormalities. Gait disorders …

Background Past work has identified relationships between postural stability and joint
kinematics during balance and sit-to-stand tasks. However, this work has not been extended …

Various gait parameters can be used to assess the risk of falling in older adults. However,
the state-of-the-art systems used to quantify gait parameters often come with high costs as …

Prevalence of gait impairments increases with age and is associated with mobility decline,
fall risk and loss of independence. For geriatric patients, the risk of having gait disorders is …
