Table 1.
The step-to-step percent coefficient of variation (CV) of stance, swing and cadence is reported as the ratio between mean and standard deviation.
| Locomotion type | Environment | Stance CV | Swing CV | Cadence CV | Strike index |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Walking | Overground | 3.8 ± 3.5% | 4.4 ± 4.2% | 2.1 ± 2.1% | 0.063 ± 0.030 |
| Treadmill | 2.5 ± 1.8% | 4.0 ± 3.0% | 1.2 ± 0.4% | 0.047 ± 0.018 | |
| Running | Overground | 7.4 ± 3.4% | 4.3 ± 1.7% | 2.6 ± 1.4% | 0.066 ± 0.029 |
| Treadmill | 7.1 ± 15.9% | 4.5 ± 8.6% | 1.9 ± 2.3% | 0.073 ± 0.051 |
The strike index is the distance of the center of pressure at touchdown from the most posterior part of the heel, normalized to foot length.
