Age-related decline of gait variability in children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder: Support for the maturational delay hypothesis in gait

Highlights • We investigated gait in 30 children with ADHD and 28 controls. • Children with ADHD walked with significantly higher variability in stride time. • In children with ADHD, gait variability decreased with age toward that of controls. • Our results support a maturational delay of gait regul...

Summary:Highlights • We investigated gait in 30 children with ADHD and 28 controls. • Children with ADHD walked with significantly higher variability in stride time. • In children with ADHD, gait variability decreased with age toward that of controls. • Our results support a maturational delay of gait regularity in children with ADHD.
