Zusammenfassung:Highlights • Differences in spatiotemporal gait measures were assessed as a function of age. • Declines in walking speed and step length were seen with increasing age. • Differences in gait were greatest for adults aged 70–79 years of age. • Bracing the neck and trunk of younger adults led to changes similar to aging.
