Summary

This study looks at how walking speed relates to physical abilities like balance, muscle strength, and mobility in people aged 65 and older. Researchers will compare two groups: those who walk slower (0.4–0.8 m/s) and those who walk faster (above 0.8 m/s). The goal is to better understand how walking speed can help identify early signs of decline and guide care for older adults.
