on increases in abdominal pressure during daily activities include sphincteric and …

The generation of muscle-actuated simulations that accurately represent the movement of
old adults requires a model that accounts for changes in muscle properties that occur with …

activation of the agonist and antagonist leg extensors, muscle cross-sectional area (CSA) of …

At self-selected walking speeds, elderly compared with young adults generate decreased
joint torques and powers in the lower extremity. These differences may be actual gait-limiting …

Objectives: It is not known whether changes in the biomechanics of elderly gait are related to
aging per se, or to reduced walking speed in this population. The goals of the present study …
