Table 6. Pearson product-moment correlation coefficients between body size parameters, velocity and flexion angles at selected gait events in a pooled sex sample (n = 49).
Lower limb length | Velocity | Hip flexion angle | Knee flexion angle | Ankle flexion angle | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
H-flex | H-ext | K-flex | K-ext | A-plant | A-dors | |||
Body mass | 0.714 | 0.220 | −0.178 | 0.089 | −0.297 | −0.285 | 0.160 | 0.337 |
Lower limb length | 0.326 | −0.142 | −0.099 | −0.055 | −0.189 | –0.0003 | 0.234 | |
Velocity | 0.595 | −0.087 | 0.426 | 0.198 | –0.011 | 0.152 |
Gait events: H-flex, peak hip flexion moment; H-ext, peak hip extension moment; K-flex, peak knee flexion moment; K-ext, peak knee extension moment; A-plant, peak ankle plantarflexion moment; A-dors, peak ankle dorsiflexion moment.
