本文用红外频闪光度计测量了20名青年人和20名神经系统健康的老年人的步行运动学轮廓。与年轻人相比，老年人的步态速度和步幅减少了17-20%。老年人的最大趾底间隙、手臂摆动以及髋关节和膝关节旋转也表现出相当的减少，但步态的这些变化可归因于步长的减少，这可能有非神经学原因。在评估老年人步行模式时，必须考虑步态速度和步长降低对步行其他特征的影响。
Infrared computerized stroboscopic photometry was used to measure the kinematic profile of walking of 20 young adults and 20 neurologically healthy elderly people. Compared with the young adults, the elderly exhibited 17-20% reductions in the velocity of gait and length of stride. The elderly also exhibited comparable reductions in the maximum toe-floor clearance, arm swing, and rotations of the hips and knees, but these alterations in gait were attributable to the reduction in stride length, which may have non-neurological causes. The influence of reduced gait velocity and stride length on the other characteristics of walking must be considered when evaluating the pattern of walking in elderly people.
