Biomechanical Analysis of Gait Compensation Strategies as a Result of Muscle Restriction

The loss of muscle mass with aging and consequent muscle weakness results in compensatory gait motions. Although these compensatory motions increase the cost of walking, they appear to be an attempt by the elderly to maintain safe ambulation. However, the relationship between the affected muscles an...
