Sumario:OBJECTIVE: To analyze the repeatability of the spatiotemporal gait parameters in healthy adults in successive mensurations in the same day and in different days with interval of a week. METHODS: The transvesal study was applied with 20 healthy volunteers. To register the analyzed parameters (length of the cycle, length of the step cadence and velocity), 1 camera of SVHS video had been used and the processing of those parameters was made through the Peak Motus system. The statistics analysis applied was the ANOVA two way test (p <0,05). RESULTS: A good repeatability of the analyzed variables was observed, as much intra-day as inter-day, not being verified significant differences. CONCLUSION: The values of such variables are repetitive, making possible the accomplishment of only one mensuration to represent the subject's gait.
