چکیده
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the test-retest reliability of walking speed, stride time and stride length variability using a feedback-controlled treadmill. Ten subjects performed 3 trials of walking experiment for 5 min with a feedback-controlled treadmill. To check the reliability of gait parameters such as walking speed, average and variability (i.e. coefficient of variance, CV) of stride time and stride length, those parameters were compared in this study. Results showed that all gait variables were confirmed the reliability within-trial (walking speed: intra-class correlation, ICC=0.996, standard error of measurement, SEM=0.03, average stride time: ICC=0.989, SEM=0.01, stride time variability: ICC=0.680, SEM=0.18, average stride length: ICC=9.994, SEM=0.01, stride length variability: ICC=0.830, SEM=0.25). This feedback-controlled treadmill can be used for various gait dynamics study using spatio-temporal variables.

Self-paced versus fixed speed treadmill walking.
Instrumented treadmills are increasingly used in gait research, although the imposed walking speed is suggested to affect gait performance. A feedback-controlled treadmill that allows subjects to walk at their preferred speed, i.e. functioning in a self-paced (SP) mode, might be an attractive alternative, but could disturb gait through accelerations of the belt. We compared SP with fixed speed ...
متن کاملDynamics of Stride Interval Characteristics during Continuous Stairmill Climbing
It has been shown that statistical persistence in stride intervals characteristics exist during walking, running and cycling and were speed-dependent among healthy young adults. The purpose of this study was to determine if such statistical persistence in stride time interval, stride length and stride speed also exists during self-paced continuous stairmill climbing and if the strength is depen...
متن کاملSteps to Take to Enhance Gait Stability: The Effect of Stride Frequency, Stride Length, and Walking Speed on Local Dynamic Stability and Margins of Stability
The purpose of the current study was to investigate whether adaptations of stride length, stride frequency, and walking speed, independently influence local dynamic stability and the size of the medio-lateral and backward margins of stability during walking. Nine healthy subjects walked 25 trials on a treadmill at different combinations of stride frequency, stride length, and consequently at di...
متن کاملEffects of dual-task and walking speed on gait variability in people with chronic ankle instability: a cross-sectional study
BACKGROUND Recent evidence suggests that impaired central sensorimotor integration may contribute to deficits in movement control experienced by people with chronic ankle instability (CAI). This study compared the effects of dual-task and walking speed on gait variability in individuals with and without CAI. METHODS Sixteen subjects with CAI and 16 age- and gender-matched, able-bodied control...
متن کاملPersistent and anti-persistent pattern in stride-to-stride variability of treadmill walking: influence of rhythmic auditory cueing.
It has been observed that long time series of Stride Time (ST), Stride Length (SL) and Stride Speed (SS=SL/ST) exhibited statistical persistence (long-range auto-correlation) in overground walking. Rhythmic auditory cueing induced anti-persistent (or anti-correlated) patterns in ST series, while SL and SS remained persistent. On the other hand, it has been shown that SS became anti-persistent i...
