Gait Characteristics over the Six-minute Walk Test in Older Women of a Specific Portuguese Community: A Cross-Sectional Study.

Older women yielded changes in gait spatial and temporal parameters along the 6MWT, as well as larger angular displacements of the lower limb joints. Older women (compared to younger ones) yielded lower gait speed, cadence, stride length, and step length, higher stance and double stance phases, and shorter angular displacements of the lower limb joints.
