Biomechanical demands of the 2-step transitional gait cycles linking level gait and stair descent gait in older women

Abstract Stair descent is an inherently complex form of locomotion posing a high falls risk for older adults, specifically when negotiating the transitional gait cycles linking level gait and descent. The aim of this study was to enhance our understanding of the biomechanical demands by comparing th...
