Differences of muscle co-contraction of the ankle joint between young and elderly adults during dynamic postural control at different speeds

BACKGROUND: Agonist and antagonist muscle co-contractions during motor tasks are greater in the elderly than in young adults. During normal walking, muscle co-contraction increases with gait speed in young adults, but not in elderly adults. However, no study has compared the effects of speed on musc...
