Healthy septuagenarians with no gait impairment have an elevated cost of walking which is not explained by an elevation in whole body mechanical work. Increased antagonist muscle co-activation (possibly an adaptation to ensure adequate joint stability) may offer partial explanation of the elevated cost of walking.

Abstract
Healthy septuagenarians with no gait impairment have an elevated cost of walking which is not explained by an elevation in whole body mechanical work. Increased antagonist muscle co-activation (possibly an adaptation to ensure adequate joint stability) may offer partial explanation of the elevated cost of walking.
