Abstract
Significance: Limb-matching methods do not have a direct effect on biomechanical outcomes when comparing gait in healthy young and old groups. Gait is cyclical, so limb symmetry is often assumed. However, if the complexity of the task increases, or when comparing against groups with impaired gait, both limbs may behave differently, so limb-matching method may become more crucial.
