| Abstract | The treadmill is widely used as an instrument for gait training and analysis. The primary purpose of this study was to compare biomechanical variables between overground and treadmill walking in children with cerebral palsy (CP). Perceived differences between the two walking modes were also investigated by comparing self-selected walking speeds. Twenty children with CP performed both overground and treadmill walking at a matched speed for biomechanical comparison using a 3-D motion analysis system. In addition, they were asked to select comfortable and fastest walking speeds under each walking condition to compare perceived differences. Significant differences in spatiotemporal variables were found including higher cadence and shorter stride length during treadmill walking at a matched speed (for all, P<.003). The comparison of joint kinematics demonstrated significant differences between overground and treadmill walking, which showed increases in peak angles of ankle dorsi-flexion, knee flexion/extension, and hip flexion (for all, P<.001), increases in ankle and hip excursions and a decrease in pelvic rotation excursion while walking on treadmill (for all, P<.002). Comparison of perceived difference revealed that children with CP chose significantly slower speeds when asked to select their comfortable and fastest walking speeds on the treadmill as compared to overground (for both, P<.001). Our results suggest that these biomechanical and perceived differences should be considered when using a treadmill for gait intervention or assessment. |

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.
