About this study

Official title: Normative Reference Values of Sideways Walking, Tandem Walking, Cross-stepping, Heel Walking and Toe Walking Among Children

A cross-sectional study will be conducted recruiting children of age group 8-15 years. Pilot study has been conducted for the determination of the sample size. The calculated sample size has come out to be, n=378 which can be taken for males and females separately. Stratified random sampling will be done according to age. Child will be asked to perform all tests one by one and the time taken (in seconds) will be noted required to perform the tests. The mean of three readings will be obtained using a mobile-based stop watch.

Read the detailed description

756 children will be recruited of age group 8-15 years. Five equilibrium coordination tests i.e. Sideways walking, tandem walking, cross-stepping, heel walking and toe walking will be performed by each child and three readings will be recorded. Mean of three readings will be considered as normative reference value of each test respectively.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Sideways walking

    This test will be used to find the normative values of sideways walking

    Measured: Immediately after the sideways walking

  2. Tandem walking

    This test will be used to find the normative values of tandem walking

    Measured: Immediately after the Tandem walking

  3. Cross stepping

    This test will be used to find the normative values of cross stepping

    Measured: Immediately after the Cross stepping

  4. Heel Walking

    This test will be used to find the normative values of heel walking

    Measured: Immediately after the Heel Walking

  5. Toe walking

    This test will be used to find the normative values of toe walking

    Measured: Immediately after the Toe walking
