AB Walking is part of daily life and in asymptomatic subjects it is relatively easy. The physiology of walking is complex and when this complex control system fails, the risk of falls increases.As a result, gait disorders have a major impact on the older adult population and have increasedin frequency as a result of population aging. Therefore, the OptoGait sensor is intended to identifygait imbalances in pronating feet to try to prevent falling and injury by compensating for it withtreatments that normalize such alteration. This study is intended to assess whether spatiotemporalalterations occur in the gait cycle in a young pronating population (cases) compared to a controlgroup (non-pronating patients) analyzed with OptoGait. Method: a total of n = 142 participantsconsisting of n = 70 cases (pronators) and n = 72 healthy controls were studied by means of a 30 streadmill program with a system of 96 OptoGait LED sensors. Results: Significant differences werefound between the two groups and both feet in stride length and stride time, gait cycle duration andgait cadence (in all cases p < 0.05). Conclusions: pronating foot posture alters normal gait patternsmeasured by OptoGait; this finding presents imbalance in gait as an underlying factor. Preventionof this alteration could be considered in relation to its relationship to the risk of falling in futureinvestigations.
