Creation of a Pediatric Reference Database for the Kerpape-Rennes-EMG-Based Gait Index

Each participant undergoes a standardized gait analysis session. After skin preparation, 28 surface electrodes are placed bilaterally on seven lower limb muscles according to SENIAM recommendations. The child completes 10 walking trials (five round trips of 10 meters) at a comfortable, self-selected speed while being recorded by synchronized cameras. Data collected include EMG signals and video recordings. This procedure is non-invasive and performed in a single session lasting approximately one hour
