Kinematic variability and local dynamic stability of upper body motions when walking at different speeds. (2006, unknown): “Increased walking variability might indicate the presence of some other underlying pathology (Hausdorff et al., 2001a, b), or may indicate only that patients are compensating by slowing down (DeVita and Hortobagyi, 2000).”
Aging of the human neuromuscular system (2002, background): “It may be, for example, that very old adults no longer have adequate propulsive power in their plantarflexor muscles for achieving the same gait pattern as young adults, thereby slowing them considerably, creating excessive muscle fatigue,(25) and also putting more requirements on other leg muscles.”
