This study's aim was to develop a local walking speed norm using the 10-m walk test (10MWT) for 5- to 17-year-old children and youth who are developing typically.
Healthy child and adolescent participants were recruited from schools in one rural Alaska school district. The 10MWT was performed using a 2 repetitions per speed protocol. Outcome measures were average time for the normal and fast-speed trials, separated by age and gender.
Average walking speed was established in this group of children and youth who are developing typically by age and gender.
Local walking speed norms for 5- to 17-year-olds can be accurately obtained by examining students in a rural school district.
本研究旨在为处于典型发育阶段的 5 至 17 岁儿童和青少年制定 10 米步行测试（10MWT）的本地步行速度标准。
从阿拉斯加一个农村学区的学校招募健康的儿童和青少年参与者。10MWT 使用 2 次重复/速度方案进行。主要观察指标为正常和快速速度试验的平均时间，按年龄和性别分组。
在这组处于典型发育阶段的儿童和青少年中，根据年龄和性别确定了平均步行速度。
通过检查农村学区的学生，可以准确获得 5 至 17 岁儿童和青少年的本地步行速度标准。
