Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Researchers established local walking speed norms for typically developing children and youth aged 5-17 using the 10-meter walk test (10MWT). This study provides valuable data for assessing pediatric mobility in rural Alaskan populations.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric physical therapy
  • Biomechanical analysis
  • Growth and development studies

Background:

  • Establishing normative data is crucial for identifying deviations from typical development in children.
  • The 10-meter walk test (10MWT) is a widely used functional mobility assessment.
  • Limited normative data exists for specific pediatric populations, particularly in rural settings.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop local walking speed norms for typically developing children and adolescents aged 5 to 17 years.
  • To utilize the 10-meter walk test (10MWT) for establishing these norms.
  • To provide a reference for assessing walking function in this specific age group.

Main Methods:

  • Recruited healthy child and adolescent participants from a rural Alaska school district.
  • Administered the 10-meter walk test (10MWT) with a protocol of 2 repetitions per speed.
  • Collected and analyzed average times for normal and fast-speed walking trials, stratified by age and gender.

Main Results:

  • Established average walking speed values for typically developing children and youth.
  • Normative data was presented separately for different age groups and genders.
  • Demonstrated the feasibility of obtaining reliable walking speed data in a rural school setting.

Conclusions:

  • Local walking speed norms for children and youth aged 5-17 can be accurately determined by studying students in rural school districts.
  • The findings support the use of the 10MWT for establishing localized pediatric mobility norms.
  • This research contributes valuable data for pediatricians, physical therapists, and researchers working with children in similar environments.
