General gait parameters during sideways and forward walking in children with CP and TD children. (A) Walking speeds in TD, HE and DI children (each point corresponds to the mean speed in 1 individual child). Data are plotted as a function of age. (B) Speed and stride length for SW (for both leading and trailing limbs) and FW. Stride length was normalized to the limb length L (thigh + shank). Horizontal lines denote significant differences (RM ANOVA with Tukey’s HSD, p < 0.05). (C) Stepping frequency vs. speed during SW (leading leg) and FW (data for right and left legs were pooled together). Each data point represents one stride. (D) Phase duration vs. cycle duration for the trailing and leading limbs during SW (black circles—stance, and grey circles—swing phase). Solid lines represent linear regressions.
