The gait initiation is set to transition from standing posture to the first step to reversing cyclical, and involves a motor program mediated by adjustments preparations necessary to propel the body forward (MELOUIN ET AL, 2000). Studies that approach the initialization mostly in the adult population have aimed to understand the limitations in postural disorders, aging and what little is in the child population also has a focus on disease and how this process occurs not because of the development of walking independent. This study aimed to describe how the gait initiation process occurs and how it changes as occurs the development of independent walking. We evaluated 29 subjects into three groups: G1 (15 months - 10 subjects), G2 (3 years - 9 subjects) and GA (Adult - 10 subjects). The variables were analyzed: amplitude of oscillation of the center of force toward the average side (COFML) and anterior posterior (COFAP) and average speed and VELAP VELML. The nonparametric Kruskal Wallis test was used to detect differences between groups; the significance level was p ≤ 0.05%. Results of gait initiation: COFAP (cm) there was no statistically significant differences between groups. However, both groups showed significant differences in the COFML behavior (7.79cm = G1, G3 = 7.46cm, GA = 3.25cm, p = 0.01). Furthermore the variable VELAP (cm / s), showed no statistically significant difference between groups, as well as the variable VLML. Results of gait termination: variables results COFAP (G1 = 11.15 cm, G3 = GA = 8.69 cm and 5.17 cm) and COFML (G1 = 7.83 cm, G3 = 8 cm and 4.86 cm = GA) showed no statistically significant differences when purchased between the three groups proposed both as a platform to platform 2. VELAP (G1 = 4.13 cm / s, G3 = 3.16 cm / GA = 3.26 cm / s) and VELML (G1 = 9.74 cm / s, G3 = 5.72 cm / s and GA = 2, 49 cm / s) were not statistically different during the completion of the gait termination, the results indicated the importance that the strength center behavior and the ability to deal with the gravitational field during the gait initiation and how this process changes with the experience of walking independently.
