Using waveform analyses to develop pediatric gait indices.
Most studies examining the development of pediatric gait patterns have relied on parameterization or sampling techniques, which involve extracting instantaneous points from curves of data. Although such methods are useful and easy to understand, we hypothesize that waveform techniques can lead to a more complete account of the development of gait and, in turn, lead to more effective indices of impairments.
