FoF-related changes in gait vary with gait speed. In older adults with FoF, lower trunk oscillation was less smooth in the lateral direction when they walked at their usual pace. In addition, lower trunk oscillation was also less smooth in the direction of travel when they walked at a faster pace than their usual walking speed.
