This study investigated the relationships between age and walking motion of female adults (19-86 years) with
independent walking ability. The walking motion with self-selected speed was measured with 3D motion analysis
systems. Generally, the cadence was increased while step length was decreased with advanced age. In contrast to
younger female, a larger hip joint flexion and extension with a smaller ankle joint plantar-flexion were observed
among older female. In summary, this study presented the differences in gait characteristics of female at different age
groups. There were strong relationships between age, and increased hip flexion and decreased ankle plantar-flexion
from terminal stance phase to initial swing phase.
