Study reveals why walking becomes more difficult as we grow older
A study conducted by Flinders University and the University of Canberra suggests that walking grows more challenging with age as the body shifts its focus from efficiency to stability. To maintain better balance during each step, older individuals often stiffen their ankles upon impact with the ground. This adjustment, however, limits the power used to push off, leading to shorter strides and a slower walking pace.
