Descriptive study of children's walking pattern and the role of selected movements in its evolution, a review study

Based on the studies conducted in the field of human growth and development, the independent walking pattern of children is different from that of adults. Walking patterns are related to neuromuscular maturation and changes in walking patterns depend on age. Therefore, it is necessary for pediatricians to understand the characteristics and stages of normal or abnormal development of walking. Neuromotor control of development shows that early identification and intervention may accelerate the treatment of gait abnormalities and direct the pattern of growth and development in the right direction. The purpose of this study was to review the walking pattern of children and the role of selected movements in its development. In this review, by using internet resources available in Persian and English, related materials are collected and firstly, a summary of the theoretical foundations of the research is presented, and then the role of corrective movements on the walking pattern will be discussed.
