Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
<p>First, gait characteristics as such spatiotemporal parameters (e.g. step<br /><br>length), 3D kinematics and kinetics of the ankle, knee and hip joint, dynamic<br /><br>balance parameters (e.g. margins of stability, gait variability) and muscle<br /><br>activity will be determined by using both gait analysis systems. Second,<br /><br>reference values for gait and balance parameters of typically developed<br /><br>children of varying age will be created (and corrected for anthropomorphic<br /><br>variation).</p><br>
