Abstract
This paper presents an analysis of lower limb kinematic angle of walking gait in children. Total of 16 healthy children which is 10 boys and 6 girls were participated in this study. Four selected angles of hip, knee, ankle and pelvic were obtained using Vicon® Nexus Plug-in-Gait. The data collected will be separated into two groups which are boys and girls. The result shows that there are a significant difference between boys and girls at angle of pelvic. Additionally, it is shows that boys have greater maximum flexion of hip and knee, ankle dorsiflexion and plantar flexion and anterior pelvic tilt as compared to girls.
