Three-dimensional gait analysis for spatiotemporal parameters in obese children
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Nursing and health Science - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 3
Abstract
Background: Obese children are challenged while moving excess mass and performing task requiring power and speediness as gait. Purposes: To investigate the differences in spatiotemporal gait parameters measured by 3D motion analysis between obese children non-obese children. Materials and methods: twenty children of both sexes participated in this study were assigned into two groups ten obese children as study group and ten age matched non obese children as control group. Spatio-temporal parameters were assessed for all subjects by Three-dimensional gait analysis including step (length, time and width), stride length, cadence, speed, stride time. Results: A significant decrease was noted in stride and step lengths, and walking speed mean values in the study group and a significant increase in stride time, step (time and width) mean values. On the other hand, non-significant difference was found in cadence between both groups. Conclusion: an objective evidence of changes in spatiotemporal gait parameters between obese and non-obese children using 3D gait analysis.
