Study Notes
- Temporal characteristics describe variables related to time in gait analysis.
- Velocity is the distance covered over a unit of time.
- Cadence is the number of steps completed per unit of time.
- Normal walking velocity ranges from 50 to 120-130 steps per minute.
- Optimal walking speed for most efficient walking is around 80 m/min.
- Walking speed impacts other factors such as energy expenditure and muscle activity.
- Free walking speed is most energy-efficient for each individual.
- Stride length impacts walking speed and is dependent on leg length.
- Men walk faster and have a longer stride length than women.
- Walking rates above or below typical values are classified as fast or slow.
