Functional lower extremity strength influences stepping strategy in community-dwelling older adults during single and dual-task walking

Abstract As age increases, a decline in lower extremity strength leads to reduced mobility and increased fall risks. This decline outpaces the age-related reduction in muscle mass, resulting in mobility limitations. Older adults with varying degrees of mobility-disability use different stepping stra...
