Effects of Horizontal Impeding Force Gait Training on Older Adult Push-Off Intensity
MEDICINE AND SCIENCE IN SPORTS AND EXERCISE, 53(3), 574–580.
author keywords: FUNCTIONAL PERFORMANCE; GAIT BIOMECHANICS; REHABILITATION; EXERCISE
MeSH headings : Aged; Aging / physiology; Ankle; Ankle Joint / physiology; Biomechanical Phenomena / physiology; Energy Transfer; Equipment Design; Female; Gait / physiology; Heart Rate / physiology; Humans; Male; Muscle Strength / physiology; Preliminary Data; Resistance Training / instrumentation; Resistance Training / methods; Tendons / physiology; Treatment Outcome; Walking / physiology; Walking Speed / physiology
topics (OpenAlex): Balance, Gait, and Falls Prevention; Cerebral Palsy and Movement Disorders; Muscle activation and electromyography studies
TL;DR:
It is concluded that the use of horizontal impeding forces in older adults improves their maximum muscular and walking capacities while encouraging access to newfound strength gains, thereby improving habitual push-off intensity during walking.

Increasing the Propulsive Demands of Walking to Their Maximum Elucidates Functionally Limiting Impairments in Older Adult Gait
JOURNAL OF AGING AND PHYSICAL ACTIVITY, 28(1), 1–8.
author keywords: ankle moment; biomechanics; impeding forces; push-off
MeSH headings : Aged; Aging; Ankle Joint; Biomechanical Phenomena; Gait; Humans; Walking; Walking Speed; Young Adult
topics (OpenAlex): Cerebral Palsy and Movement Disorders; Balance, Gait, and Falls Prevention; Lower Extremity Biomechanics and Pathologies
TL;DR:
It was found that older adults walked at their preferred speed with hallmark deficits in push-off intensity, and age-related deficits in ankle moment emerged as the lone genuine functionally limiting impairment in older adults.

2020 journal article
Shorter gastrocnemius fascicle lengths in older adults associate with worse capacity to enhance push-off intensity in walking
GAIT & POSTURE, 77, 89–94.
author keywords: Ultrasound; Plantarflexor; Triceps surae; Elderly; Gait; Biomechanics
MeSH headings : Adult; Age Factors; Aged; Biomechanical Phenomena; Female; Gait / physiology; Humans; Leg / diagnostic imaging; Leg / physiology; Leg / physiopathology; Male; Muscle, Skeletal / diagnostic imaging; Muscle, Skeletal / physiology; Muscle, Skeletal / physiopathology; Self-Help Devices; Tendons / physiology; Ultrasonography; Walking / physiology; Young Adult
topics (OpenAlex): Muscle activation and electromyography studies; Balance, Gait, and Falls Prevention; Sports injuries and prevention
TL;DR:
These findings provide muscle-level insight to develop more effective rehabilitation techniques to improve push-off intensity in older adults and assistive technologies designed to steer plantarflexor muscle fascicle operating behavior during functional tasks.
