Summary

This study collected walking data from 110 healthy children aged 3 to 15 to create a reference database for a new gait index called Ker-EGI Kids. Researchers placed 28 stickers on each child's legs to record muscle activity while they walked. The goal is to establish what normal gait looks like, which may help identify abnormal patterns in children with movement disorders.
