Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| First, gait characteristics as such spatiotemporal parameters (e.g. step length), 3D kinematics and kinetics of the ankle, knee and hip joint, dynamic balance parameters (e.g. margins of stability, gait variability) and muscle activity will be determined by using both gait analysis systems. Second, reference values for gait and balance parameters of typically developed children of varying age will be created (and corrected for anthropomorphic variation). | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Second reference values for gait and balance parameters of typically developed children of varying age will be created. | — |
