Abstract
|
|
|
Human gait inevitably deteriorates with ¡°physiologic¡± aging as well as age-related pathologic conditions particularly in the older adults. However, some of them maintain relatively normal gait pattern well into their 80s. The existence of ¡°successful aging¡± group in terms of gait performance suggests that senile gait is no more a consequence of aging alone. Here, we discuss age-related change of gait to characterize gait in the elderly, and briefly review the classification system of gait disorders in the elderly.
