Abstract
Background: Pediatric gait analysis is considered an important element of
physical assessment that reflects quality of life, health status and physical
functions and could assist in screening for a wide range of physical
abnormalities. Purpose: analyze kinematic and kinetic gait parameters, in
addition assessing age differences in normal school age (6-12 years)
children in Capital governate of Kuwait and compare the findings with
normal standard values. Methods: Sixty normal children of both sexes were
recruited from different schools in capital governorate of Kuwait. Their
ages were ranged from 6-12 years , they are with normal body mass index
( BMI ) They were assigned into three groups. group (A) children whom
aged 6-8 years ; group (B) children whom aged 8-10 years and group (C)
whom aged 10-12 years . All participants underwent physical evaluation for
eligibility of selection. Gait kinematic and kinetic parameters were
analyzed for all participated children by using BTS-FREE/EMG 300. SPSS
was used for statistical analysis. Results: Most kinematic gait parameters
are consentient with normal standard values in stride time ,stance time,
swing time, stance phase, ,and significantly differ in swing phase, double
support phase , velocity , cadence ,stride length ,step length , step
width ,.Regarding kinetic parameters , there were no statistical significant
differences between the three age groups . Conclusion: establishing
national normative values for gait analysis is important for analyzing
various gait deviations.
