Comparison of gender, age, and body mass index for spatiotemporal parameters of bilateral gait pattern.

ABSTRACT: Background: Studies on the gaits parameters have been identified on the patient population. Most researchers confirm that the patients walk differently than normal people and they may have a greater risk of falls. Consistent finding and description of gender, age, and body mass index differences in gait studies is rare in healthy subjects.  This research was performed to compare spatiotemporal parameters of gait between gender, as per their age and body mass index level.   Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted with forty-five young adults (F=20, M=25). Stadiometer and Physilog 4 inertial sensors were used for data collection. A gait analyzer 5.2 software (GaitUp, S.A. Lausanne, Switzerland) was used to determine spatiotemporal parameters.   Results:  Females w
