چکیده
Gait maturation is a major developmental milestone in early childhood. In contrast, gait changes in the elderly usually signal the need for a change of lifestyle and possibly supported living. There is an indisputable need to acquire reference data in order to examine the variability in healthy people and mechanisms of gait maturation, malfunction and decline. Current decisions about the quality or abnormality of gait are based on limited reference data that is unrepresentative of specific age groups.
