Reliability of an Instrumented Pressure Walkway for Measuring Walking and Running Characteristics in Young, Athletic Individuals.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Spatiotemporal parameters of gait are useful for identifying pathological gait patterns and presence of impairments. Reliability of the pressure-sensitive Zeno^TM Walkway has not been established in young, active individuals without impairments, and no studies to this point have included running.

Purpose

The purposes of this study were to 1) determine if up to two additional trials of walking and running on the Zeno^TM Walkway are needed to produce consistent measurements of spatiotemporal variables, and 2) establish test-retest reliability and minimal detectable change (MDC) values for common spatiotemporal variables measured during walking and running.

Study design

Cross-Sectional Laboratory Study.
