title: Gait patterns of young Japanese women.
abstract: Gait patterns of 440 young Japanese women walking along a sidewalk were observed in September. Walking speed, step length and cadence were significantly greater in single walking than in group walking. Time of day, walking direction and clothes did not influence the walking patterns. Step length in heeled shoes was shorter than that in sneakers and flat shoes.
