Evolution of joint power across the lifespan during walking
Ankle push-off power appears to reach maturity in the 3rd decade of life. A strict temporal correspondence between a decline in ankle push-off power (A2) with age and a compensatory increase in hip pull-off power (H3) was not observed, challenging the distal-to-proximal alteration in propulsion strategy commonly attributed to the ageing process.
