Age-related changes in foot kinematics during walking

Background Differences in dynamic foot function between young and older adults have been reported [1], however foot kinematics during walking remain largely unquantified. Our understanding of foot kinematics during walking is largely based on single-segment foot models, which limits the inferences that can be made about foot motion. This study aimed to determine if differences in foot kinematics existed between young and older adults during walking using a multi-segment foot model [2].
