Walking patterns are adaptable in response to different environmental demands, which
requires neural input from spinal and supraspinal structures. With an increase in age, there …

Human physiological signals are inherently rhythmic and have a hallmark feature in that
even distant intrasignal measurements are related to each other. This relationship is termed …

Fractal analysis of stride interval time series is a useful tool in human gait research which
could be used as a marker for gait adaptability, gait disorder, and fall risk among patients …

Healthy aging is associated with reduced corticospinal drive to leg muscles during walking.
Older adults also exhibit slower or reduced gait adaptation compared to young adults. The …

Background Evaluating the adaptability of human functions and behavior has become a
subject of growing interest due to aging populations and the increased prevalence of …

Introduction The complexity of bio-signals, like RR intervals, is considered a reflection of the
organism's capacity to adapt. However, this association still remains to be consolidated. We …

The complex organization of gait variability, or fractal dynamics, theoretically represents the
adaptive capacity of the locomotor system. Prior studies suggest that fractal dynamics are …

During activities of daily living, locomotor patterns must be continuously adapted according
to changes in our body (eg, bodily injuries, fatigue) and to the changing environment (eg …

Abstracts Background: Aging increases individual susceptibility to falls and injuries,
suggesting poorer adaptation of balance responses to perturbation during locomotion …

The purpose of this work was to study the relationships between age, measures of gait
variability, and locomotor adaptability. Measures of gait variability are used to identify …
