People with a slow gait are more likely to be dependent on others for
care, more prone to falls and the concomitant broken bones, and more
dependent on pain relief medication. Researchers at the University of
St. Louis looked into the possibility that dance, a once very popular
activity of the elderly (during the 1940’s and 50’s, for example), might
help increase and stabilize gait as well as help reduce pain and
stiffness in the hips and legs in older persons.
