dc.description.abstract | Background: Arm movements during gait are known to alter with increasing age during the slow maturation phase (>3years). It is unclear whether coordination between the arms and legs (i.e. interlimb coordination), which is a measure of gait quality, shows a similar pattern. Research question: to investigate age-related differences in interlimb coordination during gait in typically developing children and adults. Methods: In this observational study, 98 typically developing participants were divided into five age-groups: preschool children (G1; 2.9-5.9 years[n = 18]), children (G2; 6.0-9.9 years[n = 22]), pubertal children (G3; 10.0-13.9 years[n = 26]), adolescents (G4; 14.0-18.9 years[n = 14]) and adults (G5; 19.0-35.2 years[n = 18]). Participants walked barefoot at a self-selected walking speed along a 10-m walkway during three-dimensional total-body gait analysis. To examine interlimb coordination, mean continuous relative phase over the gait cycle (MRP) and its variability (sdMRP) were calculated for each combination of limb pairs in the sagittal plane. Results: MRP increased towards more anti-phase coordination with increasing age in following limb pair combinations: left arm-right arm (median[interquartile range]; G1: 152.0°[126.6;160.7°]-G5: 171.5°[170.0;175.3°]), left arm-left leg (G1: 155.0°[131.3;167.6°]-G5: 170.8°[165.3;173.5°]) and right arm-right leg (G1: 155.7°[135.5;166.0°]-G5: 170.0°[166.4;173.5°]). MRP decreased towards more in-phase coordination from G1 to G5 in left arm-right leg (G1: 24.4°[15.3;45.8°]-G5: 10.5°[6.1;15.6°]) and right arm-left leg (G1: 25.0°[13.7;41.1°]-G5: 9.7°[5.2;16.8°]). sdMRP decreased from G1 to G5 for all limb pair combinations. Significance: Interlimb coordination altered with increasing age. First, coordination between the legs and right arm-left leg appeared mature in G1 (aged 2.9-5.9 years). Next, coordination between the ipsilateral limbs seemed mature at 9.9 years, followed by a mature coordination between left arm-right leg at 13.9years. Coordination between the two arms showed ongoing differences until adulthood. These data provide an age-related framework and normative dataset to distinguish age-related differences from pathology in children with neuromotor disorders in clinical practice. | - |
