Abstract

The purpose of this study is to determine the significance of hip rotation strategy during quiet standing in normal children. We have developed linear expressions among the coordinates of right and left center of pressure data to identify and separate hip abduction/adduction, hip rotation, ankle inversion/eversion, and ankle plantar/dorsiflexion strategies
