Abstract

This paper explores the influence of gait speed on various time-distance parameters. The approach consists of designing an experimental set up to gather running data at fast gait speeds. A total of number of twelve school children having mean and standard deviation (SD) of their age (yrs), body height (cms) and body weight (kgs) as 5.25?0.13, 122.33 ? 7.79 and 21.16? 2.82 respectively were selected for the study. The Spatio-temporal gait parameters were recorded during a complete gait cycle and were analyzed using appropriate motion analysis software. The statistical analysis was done using SPSSv17.0. The mean, standard deviation (SD) and correlation coefficient (r) was determined to find out any relationship between the selected Spatio-temporal parameters and gait speed. The results showed that stride length (r=0.72) is significantly correlated with gait speed. Therefore, while making an assessment of gait patterns in children for the management of neurological diseases, the impact of gait speed should be given due consideration.
