Does arm swing emphasized deliberately increase the trunk stability during walking in the elderly adults?

Highlights • We examine relationship between trunk stability and arm swing in elderly individuals. • They walked under 3 conditions; normal, no arm swing, and emphasized arm swing. • We measured trunk acceleration by using a tri-axial linear accelerometer. • Trunk stability in the ML direction incre...

Zusammenfassung:	Highlights • We examine relationship between trunk stability and arm swing in elderly individuals. • They walked under 3 conditions; normal, no arm swing, and emphasized arm swing. • We measured trunk acceleration by using a tri-axial linear accelerometer. • Trunk stability in the ML direction increase while walking with emphasized arm swing.
