“…In the work of Li et al [ 35 ], selected spatiotemporal parameters of the gait of women in the third trimester of pregnancy walking at natural speed in various types of shoes were analyzed. Comparing the gait of pregnant women in normal shoes with the normal gait of women without poles in our study, it was observed that parameters such as stride length (1.05 ± 0.07 m), walking velocity (0.83 ± 0.16 m/s), and single support time (0.32 ± 0.02%) took values lower than in our research, while the step frequency (1.56 ± 0.21 step/s) took higher values.…”

Introduction. The aim of this study was to compare selected spatiotemporal parameters and changes in the range of motion in the joints of lower and upper limbs during normal gait and during Nordic walking performed with classical and mechatronic poles of females and males. Methods. The study involved 19 physical education students (11 males and 8 females). The MyoMotion research motion analysis system was used to collect gait kinematic variables. The subject task was to cover a 100 m distance in a straight line with three types of gait: gait without poles, gait with classical poles, and gait with mechatronic poles at preferred velocity. Parameters were measured both on the right (RT) and on the left side (LT) of the body. The data was analyzed using two-way repeated measures ANOVA with the between-subject factor “sex.” Friedman’s test was used when necessary. Results. The most significant differences in spatiotemporal parameters between males and females were revealed in gait with the classical and mechatronic pole (stance phase LT and RT, load response LT and RT, single support LT and RT, preswing LT and RT, swing phase LT and RT, double stance LT and RT, and step length LT), the least in gait without a pole (stance phase RT, load response LT, single support LT, preswing RT, and swing phase RT); whereas, the most significant differences in kinematic parameters were revealed in gait without poles (shoulder rotation RT, wrist radial-ulnar LT, hip flexion-extension LT and RT, knee flexion-extension LT and RT, ankle inversion-eversion LT, and ankle abduction-adduction LT and RT), the least in gait with mechatronic poles (knee flexion-extension LT and RT, ankle dorsiflexion-plantarflexion LT, ankle inversion-eversion LT, and ankle abduction-adduction LT and RT). Conclusion. Statistical analysis revealed many differences in spatiotemporal and kinematic parameters in normal gait, as well as in gait with the classical and mechatronic poles, which allows the conclusion that the gait of females and males should be analyzed separately.

“…We collected data from participants using a three-dimensional force plate and extracted the vertical, anterior-posterior, and medial-lateral ground reaction forces (GRF). Subsequently, we derived the COP excursion for participants, encompassing both the anterior-posterior range of COP movement and the medial-lateral range of COP movement [36].…”

Latin dance involves fundamental walking steps, integral to the dance process. While resembling daily walking, Latin dance demands higher balance levels, necessitating body adjustments by dancers. These adaptations affect dancers’ gait biomechanics, prompting our study on gait differences between Latin dancers (LDs) and non-dancers (NDs). We enlisted 21 female Latin dancers and 21 subjects based on specific criteria. Participants executed walking tasks, with an independent sample t-test for 1-dimensional statistical parameter mapping (SPM 1d) analyzing stance phase variations between LDs and NDs. Notably, significant differences in ankle and hip external rotation were evident during the 16.43–29.47% (p = 0.015) and 86.35–100% (p = 0.014) stance phase. Moreover, pronounced distinctions in rectus Achilles tendon force (ATF) (12.83–13.10%, p = 0.049; 15.89–80.19%, p < 0.001) and Patellofemoral joint contact force (PTF) (15.85–18.31%, p = 0.039; 21.14–24.71%, p = 0.030) during stance were noted between LDs (Latin dancers) and NDs (Non-dancers). The study revealed dancers’ enhanced balance attributed to external ankle rotation for dance stability, coupled with augmented Achilles tendon and patellofemoral joint strength from prolonged practice. Moreover, integrating suitable Latin dance into rehabilitation may benefit those with internal rotation gait issues.

“…The freezing of gait is common in patients with Parkinson’s disease and may lead to falls; thus, Palmisano et al [ 7 ] investigated underlying balance control in gait initiation and identified that the center of pressure parameters, rather than the center of mass parameters, could be related to the freezing of gait. Li et al [ 8 ] investigated the effects of different shoe-heel heights on pregnant women’s walking balance, providing new insights on reducing fall risks in this population. Fadillioglu et al [ 9 ] compared running patterns in novice runners vs. expert runners, and identified the key spatiotemporal and kinematic parameters indicating better running performance.…”
