Document Summary
Walking: when infant can walk alone, hands are free to explore. Independent walking seen in children by 12 months. Dynamic base: feet are wide apart to widen the base of support; as balance improves the child brings the feet closer together. Foot angle: degree of toeing-out decreases during the first 4 years of life and then remains fairly stable during the teens. 20 percent load was responsible for inducing a significant increase in trunk forward lean, an increase in double support and stance duration, and a decrease in trunk angular motion and swing duration. 15 percent load only induced a significant increase in forward lean. Walking with and without shoes: walking with shoes caused young walkers to exhibit a more mature walking gait with longer steps and better dynamical balance. Developmental sequences for running: step 1: arms are extended sideward at shoulder height. Surface contact is made with the entire foot, striking simultaneously.
