TLDR
It is found that walking speed does influence the mechanical work at the hip, knee and ankle, and this supports the theory that the role of the calf muscle in propulsion is related to walking speed.About:

Age causes a redistribution of joint torques and powers during gait
Paul DeVita,Tibor Hortobágyi +1 more
TL;DR: Age caused a redistribution of joint torques and powers, with the elderly using their hip extensor more and their knee extensors and ankle plantar flexors less than young adults when walking at the same speed.

Pelvic and lower limb compensatory actions of subjects in an early stage of hip osteoarthritis
TL;DR: Even at an early stage of hip OA, joint degeneration was compensated by an increase in pelvis motion and muscle power generation or absorption modifications in other lower limb joints.

Limit Cycle Walking
TL;DR: This chapter introduces the paradigmLimit Cycle Walking, a new stability paradigm with fewer artificial constraints and thus more freedom for finding more efficient, natural, fast and robust walking motions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Strength training improves fall-related gait kinematics in the elderly: a randomized controlled trial.
TL;DR: Z-score analysis revealed that the strength training was effective in reversing age-related changes in gait speed, stride length, cadence and toe clearance, approaching the elderly to reference values for healthy young women.
Journal ArticleDOI
Swing phase mechanics of healthy young and elderly men.
Peter Mills,Rod Barrett +1 more
TL;DR: Differences between young and elderly gait found in the present study may be attributed to ageing, rather than a secondary effect of differences in gait velocity.

Walking speed as a basis for normal and abnormal gait measurements
TL;DR: It is shown that basic time distance measurements observed over a range of walking speeds can be useful indicators of gait abnormalities associated with knee disabilities.
Journal ArticleDOI
The influence of total knee-replacement design on walking and stair-climbing.
TL;DR: It appears that patients with less constrained cruciate-retaining designs of total knee replacement have a more normal gait during stairclimbing than patients with more constrained cruCIate-sacrificing designs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Energy generation and absorption at the ankle and knee during fast, natural, and slow cadences.
TL;DR: In 15 normal adults an advanced biomechanical analysis of walking patterns at slow, natural, and fast cadences showed that the ankle had two mechanical power phases: a negative work phase during weight acceptance, followed by a dominant burst of positive work at push-off and early swing.
Journal ArticleDOI
A relationship between gait and clinical changes following high tibial osteotomy.
TL;DR: The results of this study indicate that certain characteristics of preoperative walking are associated with postoperative clinical results, and the moment tending to adduct the knee joint during walking preoperatively was predictive of postoperativeclinical results.
