Slower walking speed in the elderly may be because of loss of muscle strength
Friday, January 19, 2018 IST

Using computer simulations they found that these physiological changes explain the slower walking speed preferred by the elderly, and that a focus on building up these leg muscles may be the only effective way to improve elderly walking.
