Description

[Purpose and Methods] Gender influences gait as well as age. Recently, gait stability has been assessed objectively using stride-to-stride time variability (STV) and other gait parameters such as root-mean-square (RMS) and auto-correlation (AC) of acceleration during walking. We investigated gender differences in gait stability using a tri-axial accelerometer attached to the lower trunk during 25 m free walking by comparing 24 healthy young males with 22 healthy young females. [Results] STV was significantly increased in females compared to males. Females exhibited significantly higher RMS of vertical and anterior-posterior axes and lower AC of vertical axes than males. [Conclusion] These results suggest that females have lower gait stability than males in healthy young subjects.<br>
