Reliability of gait parameters in children under two years of age.

The walking movement of children of school age and adults can be regarded as very consistent. However, few studies have reported reliability of gait parameters in very young children that may be used as normative data for the clinical assessment of gait. In the present study, nine normal children of ages 10 to 21 mo.

Changes in coordination during the first 8 months of independent walking.

This study assessed the development of coordination during the first 8 months of independent walking and identified potential hypotheses that may be tested by further research. The walking gait of a normal child was recorded on video at the onset of independent walking, and thereafter at monthly intervals over a period of 8 months. Video images were digitized and 3-dimensional coordinates obtained.

Measuring development of a child's early walking: implications for clinical assessment of gait.

This study examined the three-dimensional kinematics and motor development patterns in early walking gait longitudinally over 8 mo. and presents an example of walking development of one normal child which might be used for comparative purposes in the clinical assessment of gait.

The 3-dimensional kinematics of the walking gait cycle of children aged between 10 and 24 months: cross sectional and repeated measures.

The purpose of this study was to examine the 3-dimensional kinematics of 'normal' walking gait in young children. A cross sectional study using nine children aged between 10 and 24 months, filmed whilst walking at natural speed, was undertaken using two gen-locked video cameras. The children were at different stages of walking development (from 0.

Variability in development of overarm throwing: a longitudinal case study over the first 6 months of throwing.

One female subject of 15 months of age, at the onset of over-arm-throwing behaviour, was tested on a longitudinal study of throwing development. Data were collected at the onset of throwing and monthly thereafter, producing 6 sets of data. Kinematic variables were obtained using 3-dimensional video analysis and digitization.
