A Comparison of Spatiotemporal Gait Parameters and studying the correlation among the parameters : Perspective of Nepal and Uzbekistan people

초록

The purpose of this study was to compare spatiotemporal gait parameter of the subject of diversified geographical location and study the correlation among the parameter. In this study 10 subjects 5 from each Nepal and Uzbekistan walked in tread mill with their preferred speed. Spatiotemporal gait data were collected using Opti-track motion capture system. Independent sample t test was performed for comparing gait parameter. Descriptive statistics were calculated for each parameter and then data were subjected for studying correlation. Kendall’s tau-b and Spearman’s rho were used for finding the correlation between the parameter. The results indicate that there is no significant difference in the spatiotemporal gait parameter of the subjects from Uzbekistan and Nepal. Speed and cadence shows significant correlation with stride width, stride time and stance duration.
