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.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: Gait analysis with surface electromyography (EMG)
What this could lead to: If successful, this database could help doctors better understand and diagnose gait problems in children using muscle activity patterns.
What could go wrong: This is an observational study with no treatment, so it won't directly help any child. The results may not apply to all populations or settings.
