This investigation tested whether the lower economy of walking in healthy somewhat old subjects is due to greater gait instability. We compared the zeal cost of walking and gait instability (assessed on stride to stride changes in the stride time) in octogenarians (G80 n = 10) 65-yr-old (G65 n = 10) and young superintendences (G25, n = 10) walking forward a treadmill at six different fares The energy cost of walking was higher for G80 than for G25 across the different walking succeeds (P
