Walking Speed Affects Gait Coordination and Variability Among Older Adults With and Without Mobility Limitations

To determine if poorer gait variability and gait coordination among mobility-limited older adults is related to their slower walking speed.Cross-sectional analysis.University research laboratory.Community-dwelling adults (N=69) 68 years or older with (Short Physical Performance Battery score ≤9; n=37) and without (n=32) mobility limitations.Not applicable.The variability of step length, swing time percent, and step width. Gait coordination was...
