Physiologic, psychologic, and health predictors of 6-minute walk performance in older people ☆ ☆☆ ★ ★★ ♢
Stephen R. Lord,Hylton B. Menz +1 more
TL;DR: In older people, 6MWD appears to provide a measure of overall mobility and physical functioning in this population group rather than a specific measure of cardiovascular fitness.
Journal ArticleDOI
Acceleration patterns of the head and pelvis when walking are associated with risk of falling in community-dwelling older people.
TL;DR: The irregular pelvis and head accelerations evident in the high risk group suggests that these subjects may have difficulty controlling trunk motion and maintaining a stable visual field when walking, particularly on irregular terrain.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of foot posture, foot orthoses and footwear on lower limb muscle activity during walking and running: A systematic review
TL;DR: There is a need for further research of more rigorous methodological quality, including greater consensus regarding standards for reporting of electromyographic parameters, to evaluate the literature pertaining to the effect of foot posture, foot orthoses and footwear on lower limb muscle activity during walking and running.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of walking surfaces and footwear on temporo-spatial gait parameters in young and older people.
TL;DR: The results indicate that shoes with elevated heels or soft soles impair walking stability in older people, especially on wet floors, and that high-collar shoes of medium sole hardness provide optimal stability on level dry, irregular and wet floors.
Journal ArticleDOI
The population prevalence of foot and ankle pain in middle and old age: a systematic review.
Martin J. Thomas,Edward Roddy,Weiya Zhang,Hylton B. Menz,Hylton B. Menz,Marian T. Hannan,George Peat +6 more
TL;DR: Estimates of the community burden of foot and ankle pain in middle and old age are provided by outlining the scale of this clinical problem and can be used to inform health care planning and provision.
