STRIDE LENGTH MANIPULATION IN YOUNG AND OLD ADULTS DURING LEVEL WALKING
(East Carolina University, 2010)
Physiological and neurological changes with healthy aging cause old adults to alter biomechanical gait strategies. Mechanical plasticity is an ambulatory strategy in which old adults rely on proximal musculature in ...
The Relationships Between Physical Capacity And Biomechanical Plasticity With Age During Level And Incline Walking
(East Carolina University, 2017-05-11)
Old compared to young adults exhibit a distal-to-proximal redistribution of joint contributions to support phase mechanics during level and incline walking. Although this biomechanical plasticity is now well established ...
