Objective: The aim of this study is to present the basic reference data of age and sex specific gait parameters for Korean adults.
Method: The basic gait parameters were extracted from 70 healthy adults, 38 men and 32women, 21 to 69 years of age using VICON 340 Motion Analyzer.
Results: The temporal gait parameters and kinematic parameters of Korean adults were similar to other western reference data.
Conclusion: Significant sex differences exist in the maximal pelvic tilting, pelvic internal rotation and foot internal rotation and plantar flexion. There is a statistically significant age variability for the hip and knee flexion at stance phase.
