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.
