The Connection Between Gait Variability Parameters and Balance Performance in Children With Physical Disability
The Connection Between Gait Variability Parameters and Balance Performance in Children With Physical Disability
The purpose of this study is to explore the connection between gait variability parameters and balance performance in children with physical disability
Step length and step time variability will be measured with an electronic walkway, strength of 4 lower-extremity muscle groups will be tested bilaterally with a hand held dynamometer, walking performance as will be assessed by the 2 minute walk test, energy expenditure index (EEI) and rating of perceived exertion (OMNI scale).
