Is the 10 metre walk test on sloped surfaces associated with age and physical activity in healthy adults?

Preferred walking speed is considered an important indicator of health in older adults and is measured on level ground. However, this may not represent the complex demands of community ambulation such as walking on sloped surfaces. Performing a 10 m walk test on a sloped surface is a novel test, and may be a more sensitive measure of walking capacity which may better discriminate age or health-related changes in gait speed compared to a...
