We often take our ability to walk for granted. Even more than that, many of us assume that if we are still able to walk, that is sufficient to maintain mobility and independence. However, walking well means more than being able to get from “point A to point B”; it requires moving with adequate quality to help safeguard against future injury. Walking well allows us to continue doing the activities we love including being outdoors and spending time with friends and family. In fact, the quality of our walking can fairly accurately predict our future health status and physical independence.
