The use of validated measurements of gait and balance are crucial to establish baseline
function and assess effectiveness of therapeutic interventions. Gait in children changes with …

BACKGROUND: Making evidence-based decisions in the clinical management of gait
dysfunction requires the ability to measure spatiotemporal gait variables validly and reliably …

Clinical gait analysis aims to quantify and assess the mechanics of walking and identify
deviations from 'normal'movement patterns. To facilitate the use of clinical equipment …

Gait variability, defined as the fluctuation in spatiotemporal characteristics between steps, is
suggested to be a sensitive indicator of mobility deficits with aging and pathological …

Dimensionless analysis ensures that differences in sizes (eg height and weight) of children
have a minimal influence on gait parameters. The results of changes in speed on gait …

Computerized assessment of gait is commonly used in both research and clinical settings to
quantify gait mechanics and detect change in performance. Minimal Detectable Change …

The purpose of this study was to describe and statistically analyze 3-and 5-year-old
children's gait at slow, free, and fast speeds in terms of stride length, step length (adjusted …

Gait patterns are often described by recording the changes in angular rotation of such joints
as the hip, knee and ankle, during a complete cycle. Each joint exhibits distinctive behavior …

Background: It has been suggested that high stride-to-stride variability (STV) is a reflection of
gait instability. However, both low and high STV has been shown in fallers and in nonfallers; …

Movement variability has become an important field of research and has been studied to
gain a better understanding of the neuro-muscular control of human movements. In addition …
