“…It may also show that ADHD children’s gait parameters behave similarly to typical younger children. Voss et al [ 18 ] had similar results to our findings, as they found that cadence decreased progressively with age.…”

“…BMI and sex do not significantly impact gait. The older children needed shorter double support, and single support in this group was longer, as well as swing phase; whereas Voss et al [ 18 ], in their study, present that age affected all the gait parameters, except double support time. The results in our research may be explained by the increased level of balance with age [ 19 ].…”

“…This can be an idea for future investigations, to check the gait in different footwear as well. Additionally, Voss et al [ 18 ] found that sex only impacted cadence and normalized gait speed.…”

Background: The objective gait assessment in children has become more popular. Basis parameters for comparison during the examination are advisable. Objectives: The study aim was to investigate the typical gait parameters of healthy preschool and school children, using a wireless inertial sensor as the reference for atypical gait. The additional aim was to compare the specific gait parameters in the younger and older group of children. Methods: One hundred and sixty-one children’s gait parameters were evaluated by a G-Walk BTS G-SENSOR smart analyzer. The children were walking barefoot, at a self-selected speed, on a five-meter walkway, and they turned around and go back twice. Results: Age significantly influences most of the spatiotemporal parameters. The support phase becomes shorter with age. Accordingly, the swing phase becomes longer with age. The results also show that older children need shorter double support and have longer single support. Moreover, the pelvic tilt symmetry index is higher with increasing age. In each age division, the smallest variation in all gait parameters within the oldest group of examined children was observed. A comparison between the left and right side gait parameters shows the higher difference in boys than in girls. A significant difference was calculated in the pelvic obliquity symmetry index. Girls had significantly more symmetrical obliquity than boys. Conclusions: the research indicates the basic parameters of typical children’s gait, which may be a reference to atypical gait in the case of trauma or disability.

“…Most previous studies using wearable devices provide us with quantitative parameters [ 24 ]. Qualitative gait analysis as stride length and velocity were mostly obtained based on evaluations inside clinical facilities [ 25 , 26 ]. Recently, several efforts were made to collect, in a home-based setting, qualitative data from subjects with various diseases and control populations [ 18 , 19 , 22 , 27 ].…”

Background Normative data are necessary for validation of new outcome measures. Recently, the 95th centile of stride speed was qualified by the European Medicines Agency as a valid secondary outcome for clinical trials in subjects with Duchenne muscular dystrophy. This study aims to obtain normative data on spontaneous stride velocity and length in a non-controlled environment and their evolution after 12 months. Method Ninety-one healthy volunteers (50 females, 41 males), with a mean age of 16 years and 2 months, were recruited and assessed at baseline and 12 months later. The 4-stair climb, 6-min walk test, 10-m walk test and rise from floor assessments were performed. Stride length, stride velocity, and the distance walked per hour were studied in an everyday setting for one month after each evaluation. Results Of the 91 subjects assessed, 82 provided more than 50 h of recordings at baseline; and 73 subjects provided the same at the end of the year. We observed significant positive correlations of the stride length with age and height of participants, and a significant increase of the median stride length in children after the period. In this group, the 95th centile stride velocity was not correlated with age and was stable after one year. All measures but the 10MWT were stable in adults after a one-year period. Conclusion This study provides with data on the influence of age, height, and gender on stride velocity and length as well as accounting for natural changes after one year in controls.

“…Participants aged five to seventeen will be the focus of this study. This is to include an age-range of children that typically demonstrate adult-like normative values of lower extremity joint angle orientations and alignment [ 29 , 30 , 31 , 32 , 33 ]. Studies with participants who present with spastic hemiplegic, diplegic, or quadriplegic CP will be included in this review.…”

Background: Task-dependent neurophysiological adaptations in people with cerebral palsy have been examined using various techniques such as functional magnetic resonance imaging, peripheral nerve stimulation in order to assess H-reflexes, and transcranial magnetic stimulation. This activity-dependent plasticity is hypothesized to improve specific gross motor function in individuals with cerebral palsy. Although these adaptations have been examined extensively, most studies examined tasks utilizing the upper limbs. The aim of this review is to assess the neurophysiological adaptations of the central nervous system in individuals with cerebral palsy during lower limb functional tasks. Methods: A systematic review and meta-analysis will be conducted to evaluate the neurophysiological changes in the brain and spinal cord associated with lower extremity tasks in individuals with cerebral palsy. We will search within PubMed, MEDLINE, Embase, PsychINFO, and CINAHL using a predetermined search string to identify and evaluate relevant studies. Two independent reviewers will screen these studies against our inclusion criteria and risks of bias, and will extract the data from each study. A third reviewer will be used to resolve any disagreement regarding the inclusion of a study between reviewers. Randomized controlled trials as well as cross-sectional studies published in English 10 years before May 2021 that investigate the neurophysiological adaptations in the brain and spinal cord in people with cerebral palsy will be included if they meet the eligibility criteria. Primary outcomes will include scalar values of fractional anisotropy (FA), H-reflex gains or measures of amplitude, as well as motor cortex (M1) cortical excitability as measured by transcranial magnetic stimulation. Discussion: Since no identifiable data will be involved in this study, no ethical approval is required. Our results will provide insight into the neurophysiological adaptations in children with cerebral palsy, which will be useful in guiding directions for clinical decision making and future development of targeted interventions in pediatrics rehabilitation for children with cerebral palsy. Systematic review registration: The protocol for this systematic review is registered with the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (PROSPERO; registration number: CRD42020215902).
