NEURAL MECHANISMS CONTRIBUTE TO THE AGE RELATED INCREASE IN METABOLIC COST OF GAIT
(East Carolina University, 2010)
Aging is associated with biomechanical and physiological changes in several organ systems, including neural changes of voluntary movement. One manifestation of age-related changes in neural control of gait is the increased ...
A Comparison of Lean and Obese Gait Characteristics of Children and Adults During Level Walking
(East Carolina University, 2010)
Increased body mass affects gait kinematics and kinetics in adults. It is however unknown if increased body mass produces similar adaptations in children and adults. The duration of obesity in children is shorter than ...
THE VARIATION IN STRENGTH DECREMENT OF LOWER EXTREMITY MUSCLE GROUPS AND BIOMECHANICAL PLASTICITY IN OLDER ADULTS
(East Carolina University, 2019-08-13)
Age-associated biomechanical plasticity (BP) has been established as the distal to proximal shift of joint mechanical output in old adults while walking. The cause of BP is still unknown, but changes in muscle strength of ...
