Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)

Walking on an instrumented treadmillWalking on an instrumented treadmill while dual-tasking

Walking on an instrumented treadmill: Participants will be asked to walk at different gait velocities for 1 minute. The treadmill speed will be increased incrementally at 0.1m/s intervals until just before running.

Walking on an instrumented treadmill while dual-tasking: Participants aged between 6 and 17 years will be asked to walk at comfortable walking speed while playing either a cognitive (Stroop Color and Word Test) or motor (requiring arm swing) game.

Study summary

The aim of this study is to collect a large set of norm/control data on an instrumented treadmill (the Gait Real-time Analysis Interactive Lab - GRAIL) at the university hospital of Ghent for the purpose of clinical studies as well as for clinical interpretation.

We hypothesize that this norm/control data will provide reference data of the normal gait patterns in the healthy population such that we can then use it to identify gait abnormalities in populations with pathology.

The following data will be collected on the GRAIL while subjects walk at different gait speeds: 3D kinematics, kinetics, and EMG.

Additionally, 3D kinematics, kinetics, and EMG data will be collected when performing either a cognitive (Stroop Color and Word Test) or motor (requiring arm swing) dual-task while walking at comfortable walking speed.

Primary outcome measure(s)

  • Kinematics — single point assessment in 1 day
    3D kinematics of lower and upper limb joints while walking (degrees)
  • Kinetics — single point assessment in 1 day
    3D kinetics of lower limb joints while walking (Nm)
  • EMG — single point assessment in 1 day
