The Forward Velocity of the Center of Pressure in the Midfoot is a Major Predictor of Gait Speed in Older Adults
Background: A better understanding of why gait speed declines with aging is necessary. Since the center of pressure (COP) controls the forward progression of the body during gait and the kinematic changes with aging are often observed during initial contact and toe-off phase, the forward COP velocit...
