Abstract
This study aimed at investigating age-related changes in gait kinematics ,and in kinematic adaptations over a wide range of walking velocities.
the conclusion was that the older adults were unable to make adaptations in pelvic and trunk kinematics between different walking speeds (rigid behavior), while the younger adults showed more flexible behavior. Pelvic and trunk kinematics in different walking speeds can be used as variables in the assessment of gait in older adults.
