Abstract

A total of 30 volunteers performed three walking methodologies for pressure analysis: The Midgait (MG); Two-Step (TS); and a newly developed Two-Step-Stop (TST) method. Ten walking trials were recorded for each condition following a suitable acclimatisation period. Differences between conditions on kinetic and temporal variables were determined using Multivariate Analysis of Variance. By calculating ICC reliability coefficients, the minimum number of trials required for each method was determined to achieve sufficient reliability.
