Abstract

Gait kinematics of children has been reported to be similar to that of adults since three years ago, while kinetic patterns have been reported for seven years. In the aim to establish normal data using our three-dimensional gait analysis system, joint angles, moments, and strength obtained in six children (mean age: 6 years 3 months) were compared to data from six adults (mean age: 23 years 10 months). The pediatric kinematic data resembled those of normal adults. However children demonstrated a diminished peak ankle plantar flexion moment during late stance. It is important to understand gait maturation in the clinical decision making process for children with pathological gait.
