老年人的行动障碍问题对生物力学研究提出了新的重大挑战。本文概述了一些重要问题，讨论了生物力学研究与这些问题的相关性，并回顾了有关老年人行动障碍生物力学相关因素的一些当前知识状况。老年人口快速增长，老年人行动障碍发生率高。需要进行活动障碍生物力学研究，以使损伤评估更加精确，设计更有效的治疗方案，并更多地了解如何预防活动障碍。
The problems of mobility impairment in the elderly constitute new and major challenges for biomechanics research. This paper outlines what some of the important problems are, discusses the relevance of biomechanics research to these problems, and reviews some of the current state of knowledge about factors related to the biomechanics of mobility impairments in the elderly. The population of old adults is growing rapidly and the incidence of mobility impairments in old adults is high. Mobility impairment biomechanics research is needed to make the assessments of impairments more precise, to design therapeutic programs that are more effective and to learn more about how mobility impairments can be prevented.
