Stereotypes of aging may have significant effect on gaits of older persons

erceptions about aging and physical performance. They believe this information eventually may be used to enhance mobility and partially reverse age-related changes in functional performance.

In related work, Hausdorff has been studying stride-to-strike fluctuations in gait rhythm and the effects of aging and disease. He has found that healthy gaits fluctuate with a "fractal-like" pattern, documented a break down in the fractal nature of elderly gaits, and correlated gait dynamics with disease severity in people with neurodegenerative diseases, such as Huntington's and Parkinson's.

The study was funded by the National Institute of Aging and the National Institute of Mental Health. Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center is a major clinical, research and teaching affiliate of Harvard Medical School and a founding member of CareGroup Healthcare System.
