Geriatric Gait

Geriatric Gait is a biomechanical construct that characterizes the distinctive spatiotemporal, kinematic, and kinetic patterns of walking in older adults, distinguished by reductions in gait speed, stride length, and joint mobility, along with increased double support time and gait variability, reflecting age-related declines in sensorimotor function and postural control.
