Identification of changes in kinematics and electromyographic parameters during dual-task gait: a comparative study between young and elderly female subjects

Abstract Introduction : Falls during gait are one of the leading causes of death and injuries in elderly adults. Objective : This study aimed to compare the performance of young (YG) and elderly (EG) adults during dual-task gait (using a traffic light simulator) according to kinematics and electro...
