Relationship between joint angles and gait parameters in healthy older adults aged 60 ~ 80 years
Trunk and lower limb joint angles in healthy older adults are closely related to gait parameters. This suggests that gender differences should be fully considered when designing walking functional training or rehabilitation programs for older adults. Tailored exercise rehabilitation plans should be developed to delay gait function decline, enhance walking ability, and improve quality of life in older adults.
