Table 5 Kinetic parameters of the study groups

From: Clinical implications of gait analysis in the rehabilitation of adult patients with "Prader-Willi" Syndrome: a cross-sectional comparative study ("Prader-Willi" Syndrome vs matched obese patients and healthy subjects)

Groups

PWS

Obese

Healthy

Peak of plantarflexion moment (N s kg-1)

1.07 ± 0.22*

1.20 ± 0.14

1.13 ± 0.13

Peak of ankle generated power (W s kg-1 m-1)

1.95 ± 0.53†

2.69 ± 0.5

2.57 ± 0.4

  1. Data are expressed as mean ± SD. Peak of plantarflexion moment and Peak of ankle power were normalized to subject's weight and velocity. *p < 0.01 versus obese and healthy subjects; †p < 0.001 versus obese and healthy subjects.
