The More Severe the Locomotive Syndrome, the Less Flexible the Knee Flexors are in Older People - The Bunkyo Health Study

Key Points

• To explore how the severity of locomotive syndrome affects knee flexor flexibility in older adults.
• Analyzed flexibility in lower limb musculature
• Examined participants' locomotive syndrome severity
• Studied older adults from the Bunkyo Health Study
• More severe locomotive syndrome correlates with reduced flexibility in knee flexors
• Findings support the connection between mobility issues and muscle flexibility in aging
