Sarcopenia is a condition characterized by a decrease in skeletal muscle mass and strength with age, which results in a lower gait speed. Decreased gait speed in older individuals with sarcopenia can lead to adverse events such as falls and mortality. It is a major health issue; several studies have investigated gait speed in sarcopenia. However, plantar pressure has not been sufficiently evaluated. Plantar pressure facilitates gait analysis, including gait speed, and plays an important role in preventing adverse events such as falls and mortality. Therefore, the current study aimed to validate gait characteristics, including plantar pressure in community-dwelling older adults with sarcopenia.

检查社区老年人与肌肉减少症相关的步态特征：一项专注于足底压力的研究


肌肉减少症是一种以骨骼肌质量和力量随着年龄的增长而下降的疾病，这会导致步态速度降低。患有肌肉减少症的老年人的步态速度降低会导致不良事件，例如跌倒和死亡。这是一个重大的健康问题;几项研究调查了肌肉减少症的步态速度。然而，足底压力尚未得到充分评估。足底压力有助于步态分析，包括步态速度，并在预防跌倒和死亡等不良事件方面起着重要作用。因此，目前的研究旨在验证步态特征，包括社区居民患有肌肉减少症的老年人的足底压力。
