Sagittal joint kinematics, moments, and powers are predominantly characterized by speed of progression, not age, in normal children. (2001)
Journal Article
Stansfield, B., Hillman, S., Hazlewood, M., Lawson, A., Mann, A. M., Loudon, I. R., & Robb, J. E. (2001). Sagittal joint kinematics, moments, and powers are predominantly characterized by speed of progression, not age, in normal children. Journal of Pediatric Orthopaedics, 21, 403-411

Twenty-six healthy 7-year-old children were enrolled in a 5-year longitudinal study to examine the importance of age and speed in the characterization of sagittal joint angles, moments, and powers. In 740 gait trials, children walking at self-selecte...
