Official Title: Gait Parameters of Persons With Down Syndrome With and Without Orthotics Using GaitRite

Brief Summary: This is a research study of persons with Down Syndrome between 2 and 80 years old who are independently walking. The purpose of this study is to see what effect orthotics have on how people with Down Syndrome walk.

Detailed Summary:
Sponsor: Oregon Health and Science University

Current Primary Outcome: Gait will be measured with the GaitRite gait evaluation system. [ Time Frame: 3 years ]

Specific temporal and spatial parameters of gait will be measured with the GaitRite gait evaluation system. Subjects will walk with and without their orthotics. Measurement will be by changes in the previously noted gait parameters between the orthotics and non-orthotics groups.


Original Primary Outcome: Same as current

Current Secondary Outcome: Elucidate patterns in the development of walking in persons with Down Syndrome using GaitRite®. [ Time Frame: 3 years ]

The previously described parameters of gait as measured by the GaitRite system will be used to establish an overview of the development of gait in persons with Down Syndrome.


Original Secondary Outcome: Same as current
