Understanding the mechanisms underlying the age-related changes in gait biomechanics and the impact on the increased metabolic cost of walking (R01)

NIA invites applications that propose human studies to better understand the mechanisms underlying compensatory gait, posture, and molecular changes that contribute to slower walking speed and increased metabolic cost of walking. This Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) encourages interdisciplinary collaborations to design integrative approaches that explore interactions among multiple systems (e.g., skeletal, muscle, tendon, somatosensory, and central nervous).
