Interactions of age and leg muscle fatigue on unobstructed walking and obstacle crossing

Highlights • Effects of leg muscles fatigue in level walking and obstacle crossing are age dependent. • Level walking and obstacle crossing changes with fatigue were more pronounced in the participants above 40 years old. • Spatial-temporal gait parameters were adjusted in such in a way that individ...

Description
Summary:	Highlights • Effects of leg muscles fatigue in level walking and obstacle crossing are age dependent. • Level walking and obstacle crossing changes with fatigue were more pronounced in the participants above 40 years old. • Spatial-temporal gait parameters were adjusted in such in a way that individuals were seeking balance and safety.
