Simulations suggest walking with reduced propulsive force would not mitigate the energetic consequences of lower tendon stiffness

Aging elicits numerous effects that impact both musculoskeletal structure and walking function. Tendon stiffness (k(T)) and push-off propulsive force (F(P)) both impact the metabolic cost of walking and are diminished by age, yet their interaction has not been studied. We combined experimental and c...
