Challenging the motor control of walking: Gait variability during slower and faster pace walking conditions in younger and older adults

Gait variability is a measure of motor control of gait. Little is known about age-related changes in the motor control of gait (gait variability) during challenging walking conditions, such as slower and faster pace walking. The purpose of this study was to examine the impact of challenging walking conditions (slower and faster speeds) on gait variability in younger and older adults. This study was a cross-sectional, observational design. Forty...
