متن کاملStride dynamics, gait variability and prospective falls risk in active community dwelling older women.
BACKGROUND Measures of walking instability such as stride dynamics and gait variability have been shown to identify future fallers in older adult populations with gait limitations or mobility disorders. This study investigated whether measures of walking instability can predict future fallers (over a prospective 12 month period) in a group of healthy and active older women. METHODS Ninety-sev...
