Objective. To examine the frequency domain characteristics of the ground reaction forces of young and elderly females during free walking.
Design. Independent t-tests were used to examine the frequency content of all three components of the ground reaction force.
Background. Frequency domain analysis has the potential to assist in identifying changes in gait that may be masked in the time domain. No research has been done to identify changes in gait due to age-related impairments in the frequency domain.
Methods. Ten young and ten elderly females walked at a prescribed speed while ground reaction forces were collected via a …
