AB - PURPOSE: This study examined the effects of the difference in tempo using a metronome on the gait of men and women in their 20s.
METHODS: Thirty-two healthy persons were studied, consisting of 16 females and 16 males in the 20-year age group. The subjects took a 10m walking test (10MWT), walking on paper, three times each at a slow tempo (70 BPM), and a fast tempo (130 BPM). After walking at different tempos, the gait velocity, step length, step width, and the average of the step angles of both legs were calculated. The effects of accelerators and decelerators were avoided by taking measurements at 6 m, excluding 2 m after the start and 2 m before the end of the 10 m walk. A paired T-test was conducted to analyze the difference between fast-tempo and slow-tempo walking using a metronome.
RESULTS: The gait velocity, step length, and step width were significantly different for both slow and fast tempos, regardless of gender. On the other hand, the average of the step angles of both legs was not significant.
CONCLUSION: The gait patterns of men and women in their 20s were tested and compared from the tempo difference using a metronome during level walking, and the differences were then analyzed to provide basic data. Regardless of sex, the walking speed and stride length increased when walking at a faster tempo than at a slow tempo, and the width of both feet decreased. Accordingly, applying the gait using tempo to patients with an abnormal gait has a positive influence.
