Association between environmental features and participation in physical activity have been shown in previous studies. However, these studies have not studied how environment influence on walking at individual level.<\/p>\n
The aims are to study changes in gait biomechanics in laboratory, level environment outdoors and hilly environment outdoors and study whether alterations in gait biomechanics are associated with life-space mobility (an indicator of participation in outdoor activities) among older people.<\/p>\n
The study is conducted in collaboration between University of Jyv\u00e4skyl\u00e4, Gerontology research center and Neuromuscular research center and the JAMK University of Applied Sciences School of Health and Social Studies. This project will generate new scientific knowledge on person-environment interaction and equal opportunities for participation in outdoor activities among older people.<\/p>\n
