Sex differences in whole body gait kinematics at preferred speeds

Highlights • We quantified sex differences previously observed in psychology literature. • Women walk with greater pelvic obliquity, but less torso sway than men. • Women swing the arms more than men. • Women attenuate accelerations from the pelvis to the head more than men.
