Abstract
Results suggest sex-dependent influences of age on muscle recruitment during a few specific phases of gait, and sex-independent influences of age on the recruitment of the ankle musculature, and on the overall gait cycle. These influences may help explain overall increased instability and fall risk in older adults.
