Shifts in the timing of gait muscle synergies in older adults with reduced lower-limb motor function

Key Points

• Gait muscle synergies showed significant timing shifts in older adults with reduced function, indicating altered movement patterns.
• Increased understanding of these shifts could inform targeted rehabilitation for improving lower-limb motor function.
• Observational analysis across several participants highlights changes in timing related to aging and motor abilities.
• Data underscores the need for focused interventions to address gait and mobility issues in older populations.
