Spatiotemporal gait characteristics across the adult lifespan: Reference values from a healthy population – Analysis of the COmPLETE cohort study

Abstract

Age-related changes in gait parameters were seen in both men and women. These may be attributed to the typical decline in muscle strength, balance, coordination, and neuromuscular function. The results of this study contribute to the understanding of gait changes throughout the lifespan and can be used for comparison with other populations and as reference values for individual patients.
