Quantifying Intra-limb Coordination in Walking of Healthy Children Aged Three to Six

Highlights • Intra-limb coordination in walking of healthy children was quantified. • Similar portraits of PA and CRP were found for knees and ankles from ages 3–6. • SD of PA and CRP in the knees and ankles were consistent with the age increasing. • No inter-age significant differences were recorde...

Description
Summary:Highlights • Intra-limb coordination in walking of healthy children was quantified. • Similar portraits of PA and CRP were found for knees and ankles from ages 3–6. • SD of PA and CRP in the knees and ankles were consistent with the age increasing. • No inter-age significant differences were recorded in each key gait event. • Gender differences exist before the age of 6 in lower limb coordination.
