Control of body's center of mass motion relative to center of pressure during uphill walking in the elderly

Control of body's center of mass motion relative to center of pressure during uphill walking in the elderly

Highlights • The elderly walked uphill with IA similar to the young but reduced RCIA and speed. • The elderly showed greater RCIA than the young at the same adjusted walking speed. • With increasing slope angles, both groups reduced RCIA and walking speeds. • IA & RCIA during gait differentiate...

Zusammenfassung:Highlights • The elderly walked uphill with IA similar to the young but reduced RCIA and speed. • The elderly showed greater RCIA than the young at the same adjusted walking speed. • With increasing slope angles, both groups reduced RCIA and walking speeds. • IA & RCIA during gait differentiate balance control abilities between age groups.
