Aging and partial body weight support affects gait variability
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Aging leads to increases in gait variability which may explain the large incidence of falls in the elderly. Body weight support training may be utilized to improve gait in the elderly and minimize falls. However, before initiating re...
