A child's manner of walking can tell a doctor a lot about their health and development.
A new study from Japan finds yet more subtle differences in the way we learn to walk like adults.
The length of their steps and strides were also smaller and their cadence was faster than 6-, 7-, and 8-year-olds.on childhood gait have also found a decrease in steps and stride lengths as a kid grows up, but the cadence of these steps either remained the same or decreased after age 7.,"the gait kinematics and kinetics of Japanese children aged 6–12 years differ from those reported in children from other countries.
The current study in Japan was an attempt to provide those standards. Researchers used a 3D gait analysis system to figure out how children between 6 and 12 years of age use their lower limbs to walk.Compared to younger kids, older children in the study increased the number of steps they took every minute, a rate which is known as cadence. The length of their steps and strides was also reduced compared to kids aged 9 to 10.
