Schematic diagram illustrating how IMAT may be related to increased gait variability and falls in older adults. Disease, obesity, injury, age and inactivity may all contribute to increased IMAT levels in skeletal muscle. High levels of IMAT may result in impaired muscle strength, activation and muscle quality which may result in increased levels of gait variability and increased fall risk.
