A first-of-its-kind study suggests that to detect subtle gait impairments in older adults that often are prevalent in the early stages of cognitive decline, "throw them a curve." Gait analysis, ...

The normal component of acceleration is known as the “centripetal” component. It is proportional to the square of the speed, and inversely proportional to the radius of curvature of the path. The ...

NEW YORK, March 29 (UPI) --Tests to detect subtle gait impairment in older adults typically focus on straight walking -- a rhythmic and simple form of movement. But new research sheds light on "curve ...

Gait impairments often are prevalent in the early stages of cognitive decline. Researchers quantitatively compared straight walking and curved walking -- a more natural yet complex activity -- in ...
