研究组 & 干预措施
elderly people with walking difficulties
subjects with proven gait disturbance and balance will be recruited from a walking speed test and a standardized geriatric assessment by a geriatrician
干预措施: walk task (Other)
elderly people with walking difficulties
subjects with proven gait disturbance and balance will be recruited from a walking speed test and a standardized geriatric assessment by a geriatrician
干预措施: postural task (Other)
elderly people without walking difficulties
subjects with no gait disturbance and balance disorders will be recruited from a walking speed test and a standardized geriatric assessment, once the subjects with gait disturbance and balance disorders have been recruited in order to make a match on the age criterion
