Kinematic characteristics during gait in frail older women identified by principal component analysis

Abstract Frailty is associated with gait variability in several quantitative parameters, including high stride time variability. However, the associations between joint kinematics during walking and increased gait variability with frailty remain unclear. In the current study, principal component ana...
