The  normal  BOS  is  considered  to  be  between  5  and  10  cm.Center  of  gravity  (COG)The  point  at  which  the  three  planes  of  the  body  intersect  each  other.  That  point  is  approximately  2  in  (5  cm)  anterior  to  the  second  sacral  vertebra  in  the  human.Step  lengthThe  linear  distance  between  the  right  and  left  foot  during  gait.  Step  length  is  measured  as  the  distance  between  the  same  point  of  one  foot  on  successive  footprints  (ipsilateral  to  the  contralateral  footfall).Stride  lengthThe  distance  between  successive  points  of  foot-to-floor  contact  of  the  same  foot.  One  stride  is  a  full  lower  extremity  cycle.  Two  step  lengths  are  added  together  to  make  the  stride  length.CadenceThe  number  of  separate  steps  taken  in  a  certain  time.  Normal  cadence  is  between  90  and  120  steps  per  minute.VelocityThe  distance  a  body  moves  in  a  given  time,  calculated  by  dividing  the  distance  traveled  by  the  time  taken.
