Anti-phase action between the angular accelerations of trunk and leg is reduced in the elderly

Highlights • Anti-phase action between leg and trunk segments and its aging was investigated. • The anti-phase action was hypothesized to reduce the center of mass acceleration. • The less anti-phase action in the elderly related to larger body acceleration.
