Avaliação cinética e cinemática da marcha de adultos do sexo masculino

Abstract

Kinetic and kinematic evaluation of male adults gait A three-dimensional analysis of kinetic and kinematic gait parameters of 44 adult male volunteers between the ages of 18 and 40 years, without lesions of the musculoskeletal system was performed by using the computerized Motion Analysis system. The data were taken from six selected walks of each individual in which each foot could be observed stepping separately on the force plate platform with synchronized body movements. The average velocity was 116.46 cm/s ± 9.43 cm/s at the right lower limb and 116.61 cm/s ± 9.81 cm/s at the left lower limb, with differences not statistically significant. A close correlation was observed between the step length and stride length versus the length of the limb, as well as, the gait velocity versus the length of the stride. There was no significant difference between our kinetic and kinematic data and those reported in the literature, except for the velocity of the gait, which was slow.
