| Objectives: Knowledge about gender differences in intra-limb coordination during walking provides
insight into the adaptability of central nervous system for controlling gait in older adults. We assessed the
variability and phase dynamic of the intra-limb coordination in older men and women during walking .
Methods: Twenty two older people, 11 female and 11 male, participated in this study. They were asked
to perform walk on a treadmill at their preferred speed. Deviation phase and mean absolute relative phase
values -indicators of variability and phase dynamic of intra-limb coordination, respectively- were
calculated using the data collected by a motion capture system. We used independent sample t-test for
statistical analysis .
Results: The results showed that women had a significant higher deviation phase in pelvis-thigh intersegmental
relationships on both sides. Additionally, the mean absolute relative phase of left pelvis-thigh,
thigh-shank and shank-foot were significantly different between men and women .
Discussion: While women showed a lower mean absolute relative phase in pelvis-thigh, men had a lower
mean absolute relative phase in shank-thigh inter-segmental relationships. We suggest that gender could
affect the intra-limb coordination variability and phase dynamic during walking in older people. This may
be a reflection of the great adaptability of neuromuscular system to modify control strategies for walking
in older women/ men. |
