| Abstract | Although various studies have reported significant sex differences in pelvic and/or hip-joint motion during normal walking in healthy adults, it is still unclear whether such differences are among the most dominant age-independent sex differences. This study was conducted to analyze the whole waveform of lower-extremity joint kinematics obtained from 191 healthy adults using a principal component analysis (PCA). The PCA was conducted using a 955×1212 input matrix constructed from the participants' time-normalized pelvic and right-lower-limb-joint angles along three axes (five trials of 191 participants×101 data points×4 angles×3 axes). Two-way (age×sex) analyses of variance were conducted on the principal component scores (PCSs) of principal component vectors (PCVs) 1 through 6, each of which explained more than 5% of the variance. We identified a PCV that exhibits a significant age-sex interaction (PCV 1). The characteristics of sex differences reported in previous studies could be observed in the reconstructed waveforms of this PCV. Thus, we can conclude that the sex differences in the gaits reported in previous studies are not consistent across age groups. Furthermore, we also found a PCV that exhibited only a significant sex difference (PCV 6). This PCV was the first and only PCV to exhibit a sex difference without any age-related effect or age-sex interaction. Therefore, we concluded that the movement related to this PCV is age-independent and is the most dominant sex difference in the gaits observed during normal walking. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
