What Is the Relationship Between Orthostatic Blood Pressure and Spatiotemporal Gait in Later Life?

This study demonstrates that slower recovery of BP after standing is independently associated with poorer gait performance in community-dwelling older adults. Given the adverse outcomes independently associated with OH and gait problems in later life, increasing awareness that they commonly coexist is important, particularly as both are potentially modifiable.
