Abstract Background Trip-related falls which is a major problem in the elderly population might be linked to declines in the balance control function due to ageing. Minimum foot clearance MFC which provides a more sensitive measure of the motor function of the locomotor system has been identified as a potential gait parameter associated with trip-related falls in older population. This paper proposes nonlinear indexes approximate entropy ApEn and Poincaré plot indexes of MFC variability and investigates the relationship of MFC with derived indexes of elderly gait patterns. The main aim is to find MFC variability indexes that well correlate with balance impairments. Methods MFC data during treadmill walking for 14 healthy elderly and 10 elderly participants with balance .
