Abstract

Fifty males and females between 1 and 35 years of age were studied during locomotion. During the first few months of walking the step frequency bears no apparent relationship to the speed of walking. A log-log regression equation describes the adult relationship better than a linear equation. A few adolescents were better described by a linear equation and either log-log or linear equations can be used for children. The product of maximum step frequency and the square root of the stature is approximately constant after 5 years of age. The time of swing initially shows a positive regression with the time for a complete cycle of one leg. The child abandons this pattern in favour of an approximately constant time of swing and by 4-5 years of age the negative linear regression of the adult appears. The time of swing is usually much less than half the natural period of either the whole leg about the hip or of the lower leg and foot about the knee. The effects of wearing shoes upon step frequency and time of swing were investigated.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
