Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Three-dimensional gait analysis is an objective gait evaluation method which has been more and more widely used in clinical detection. But there is still a lack of the unified standard for evaluating the normal human gait characteristics.
OBJECTIVE: To detect the gait data in normal China young people and to provide the reference for analyzing the abnormal gait.
METHODS: Totally 100 normal China young adults were enrolled to test natural gaits using the three-dimensional motion capture system of the British Vicon to get the spatial and temporal parameters, kinematics parameters, kinetics parameters.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The curves of left and right sides (hip, knee, ankle joint angle and vertical ground reaction) of normal young people distributed basically consistently. There were no statistically significant differences between the left side and the right side in data of the motion angles of the hip, knee, ankle joint (first landing angle, maximum flexion angle, maximum extension angle, maximum range of motion in sagittal plane) and the vertical ground reaction parameters (the first wave peak, valley and the second wave peak) (P > 0.05). The normal human gait data established can provide the reference for clinical gait analysis.
