Research Abstract |
Normal walking of healthy elderly people living in the community was longitudinally studied during seven years repeatedly every one half year in summer and winter seasons. Characteristics of elderly walking and their changes according to the age were analyzed including the comparison with those of young adults. Seasonal differences were observed in many measurements. Significant decreases along with the age were observed in the grip strength and the range of hip joint when comparisons were made in the same season. Decreases were also observed in the bone density and the fat proportion. By contrast, the walking speed increased in the repeated group. The training will result in the increase.
