Abstract:
A study conducted with the objective to comparison between female and male in regard to selected gait variables while walking with slow speed. The study was delimited to female and male subjects (N=75), age ranging from 17 to 25 years. The study delimited to selected spatio-temporal variables namely as Gait Line Length (mm), Contact Time (sec), First/ Second Peak Force (N), First/ Second Peak Pressure (N/cm²), First/Second Peak Force Time (ms), First/Second Peak Pressure Time (ms), Difference Peak Force Time (ms), Difference Peak Pressure Time (ms). The Data Recording and quantification were administered by Pressure Plate with model FDM-S was performed. Collected data were computed with mean, standard deviation and independent t-test. There was significant difference between male and female while walking with slow speed in regard to selected gait variables namely as Gait Line Length (mm), Contact Time (sec), First/ Second Peak Force (N), First/ Second Peak Pressure (N/cm²), First/Second Peak Force Time (ms), First/Second Peak Pressure Time (ms), Difference Peak Force Time (ms), Difference Peak Pressure Time (ms) at 0.05 level.
