In very young children, immature control of posture and gait results in unsteady locomotion.
In children of∼ 3 yr of age, gait appears relatively mature; however, it is unknown whether …

This article describes developmental changes in gait velocity and relates these changes to
gait parameters that index postural stability (step width and lateral acceleration) and two …

We must understand the natural history of immature walking in order to define and interpret
pathological gait in young children. Step length, cadence and walking velocity show …

Walking gait is generally held to reach maturity, including walking at adult-like velocities, by
7–8 years of age. Lower limb length, however, is a major determinant of gait, and continues …

Temporal and distance parameters of 33 normal children were obtained from instrumented
gait analysis prospectively over five consecutive years. The parameters were normalised to …

When a toddler starts to walk without support, gait kinematics and electromyographic (EMG)
activity differ from those of older children and the body displays considerable oscillations …

Background Inertial sensors are increasingly useful to clinicians and researchers to detect
gait deficits. Reference values are necessary for comparison to children with gait …

This study focused on spatial and temporal variability of the stride in human gait. We
determined the role of stride frequency (F) and stride length (L) on those parameters. Eight …

Gait analysis on the treadmill and in the overground condition is used both in scientific
approaches for investigating the neuronal organisation and ontogenetic development of …

Introduction Gait speed is one of the most commonly and frequently used parameters to
evaluate gait development. It is characterized by high variability when comparing different …
