Abstract:
:The kinetics of the body's center of gravity during level walking were analyzed in 50 normal subjects and 47 patients. The three-dimensional displacements of the center of gravity were computed by the integration of force plate data. The energy levels and the power requirements of the center of gravity were also calculated, and the average and standard deviation of these variables were determined for normal and pathological gaits. The sex-related variation in normal gait, as suggested by previous force plate studies, was clearly demonstrated in our study. The parameters obtained from the displacements and the energy variations of the center of gravity are considered useful in the evaluation of stability and efficiency for pathological gaits.
