Flexion contracture of the knee is the cause of the crouch gait pattern, instability in stance phase of gait, and difficulties during standing and sitting, and other daily living activities. Hip flexion contracture in crouch gait is mostly compensation of the knee flexion contracture and ankle equines. The psoas muscle is the ...

متن کاملCharacteristics associated with improved knee extension after strength training for individuals with cerebral palsy and crouch gait.
Muscle weakness may contribute to crouch gait in individuals with cerebral palsy, and some individuals participate in strength training programs to improve crouch gait. Unfortunately, improvements in muscle strength and gait are inconsistent after completing strength training programs. The purpose of this study was to examine changes in knee extensor strength and knee extension angle during wal...
متن کاملHip flexion contracture and diminished functional outcomes in cerebral palsy.
BACKGROUND Hip flexion contracture (HFC) in the ambulatory child with cerebral palsy (CP) may impair function and lead to deteriorations in health-related quality of life. Furthermore, increasing HFC may lead to increasing disability. However, the association between passive range of motion and the measures of function and well-being is unclear. This study was designed to determine whether incr...
