This preliminary study aimed to explore the reference values of spatiotemporal and kinematic parameters in lower extremities trunk during gait for healthy older adults.Walking speed, stride length time, cadence, walk ratio, step width were calculated as gait. Forward tilting (FTT), hip flexion extension, knee their laterality measured peak angles one-gait cycle. The bootstrap method was conducted estimate 95% confidence interval (CI).This included 334 adults (255 women). following estimated...
