Results: In this study, the hypothesis that walking speed declines with age was generated using an initial 'open' dataset. This was subsequently validated in a separate 'closed' dataset that showed a decrease of walking speed of 20.0037 m/s per year. This is equivalent to a difference of ...
However, it is difficult to compare values across studies due to differences in the way MCoW was expressed, the units in which it was reported and the walking speed at which it was measured. To provide an overview of MCoW in OA and YA and to investigate the quantitative effect of age on...
While “steps per day” is a commonly used metric for quantifying physical activity, it captures all types of activities involving “a movement made by lifting your foot and putting it down in a different place,” including walking and running [23]. As such, this review did not specifically ...
Participants in the study comprised 39 healthy community-dwelling adults ranging in age from 65 to 80years. Physical parameters and activities as well as the preferred speed of walking were measured at half-year intervals. Significant seasonal differences from summer to winter and from winter to ...
fast walking speed. High relative DTC for stride time was associated with divided attention at preferred walking speed. The association between high DTC of stride length and memory was less robust and only observable at preferred walking speed. None of the gait measures was associated with ...
Background Rhythmic Auditory Stimulation (RAS) involves synchronizing footsteps to music or a metronome to improve gait speed and stability in patients with neurological disorders, such as Parkinson's disease. However, responses to RAS vary across individuals, perhaps because of differences in enjoyment...

Uncomplicated methods for evaluation of prosthetic walking performance for individuals with lower limb amputations are valuable. The Physiological Cost Index (PCI), the comfortable walking speed (CWS) and self-reported walking distances are three examples of such measures. The aim was to obtain values...
Standardised assess- ments have been developed to indicate physical capability in older age, including the 6-min walk (Rikli and Jones 1998) and the 30 s chair-rise test (Jones et al. 1999). The Short Physical Performance Battery assesses normal walking speed over 4 m, 569 balancing in ...
For the walking test, people were required to complete the test at the usual walking speed of 4 m and repeat it twice. People had to stand up from a chair five times while keeping their feet flat on the ground and their arms folded across their chest. For the standing balance, we ...
