If the child and parent were +willing to participate, +parents were asked to provide informed written consent and to fill out a questionnaire +describing the child's medical history. Most children were attending +a local day camp or a day-care center. +Children were excluded if they had any disorders likely +to affect gait, if they were unable to walk independently for eight +minutes, or if they were born pre-maturely. +Children were classified into three age groups: 3 and 4 year olds +(n=11), 6 and 7 year olds (n=20), and 11 to 14 year olds (n=12).
