  1. Mean (s.e.m.) values of the spatio-temporal parameters (WS = walking speed; SL = stride length; SF = stride frequency; Fn = Froude number) for the young (YG) and elderly (EG) groups walking at comfortable (CS) and fast (FS) speed. * = significant difference between the values of the two groups (p < 0.05, t-test).
