  • Re: slower walking among older adults

    Biomch-l;
    Regarding slower walking by elders -- no citations, just observations:
    1. Increased joint stiffness/decreased joint ROM; increased musculotendinous
    stiffness.
    2. Related to the above: joint/muscle pathology (e.g., arthritis--clinical or sub-
    clinical).
    3. Wisdom. Taking time to smell the roses.
