Popis:	As a part of on-going research gait studies among children, this paper presents an analysis of spatiotemporal, kinematic angles at lower limb and kinetic forces of walking gait among children. Total of 20 healthy children which is 11 boys and 9 girls aged between 6 to 12 years old were participated in this study. Five spatiotemporal parameters and four selected kinematic angles at hip, knee, ankle and pelvic as well as kinetic ground reaction forces were obtained using Vicon® Nexus Plug-in-Gait at Human Motion and Gait Analysis Laboratory, UiTM Shah Alam. Each parameter will be analyzed to investigate the differences of walking gait in children for both genders. For kinematic parameters, this study will be analyzed for any differences at anatomical planes, which are sagittal, frontal and transverse planes. The result shows that there are significant differences between boys and girls at kinematic angles features at hip, knee and ankle. Additionally, the differences ranges of motion for both genders exist at all three anatomical planes.
