The correction of equinus deformity in cerebral palsy.
Spasm or contracture of the gastrocnemius muscle is predominantly responsible for the equinus deformity of the foot in cerebral palsy. Its release is therefore logical in the treatment of all cases which do not respond to conservative measures. The authors have demonstrated, by the use of metal markers and radiographic control at operation, that adequate release cannot be achieved by severance ...
متن کاملEquinus Deformity as a Compensatory Mechanism for Ankle Plantarflexor Weakness in Cerebral Palsy
A theory for equinus gait in cerebral palsy (CP) is that the strong plantarflexors prevent the weak dorsiflexors from achieving dorsiflexion, thereby causing the ankle to be in a plantarflexed position. Recent work has indicated that both the ankle dorsiflexors and plantarflexors are weak. The purpose of this research was to theoretically and experimentally demonstrate that equinus deformity ga...
متن کاملAbobotulinumtoxinA for Equinus Foot Deformity in Cerebral Palsy: A Randomized Controlled Trial.
BACKGROUND Although botulinum toxin is a well-established treatment of focal spasticity in cerebral palsy, most trials have been small, and few have simultaneously assessed measures of muscle tone and clinical benefit. METHODS Global, randomized, controlled study to assess the efficacy and safety of abobotulinumtoxinA versus placebo in cerebral palsy children with dynamic equinus foot deformi...
متن کاملSwan-Neck Deformity in Cerebral Palsy
Figure 1. Preoperative view of the left hand demonstrating swan-neck deformity of the index finger. DESCRIPTION A 34-year-old woman with cerebral palsy presented with swan-neck deformity of the left index and long fingers (Fig 1). The proximal interphalangeal (PIP) joint was found locked in hyperextension, but the patient could actively flex it if the hyperextension was corrected. The patient w...
متن کاملTo Study the Efficacy of Electromyographic Biofeedback Training on Dynamic Equinus Deformity and Gait in Children with Spastic Cerebral Palsy
Cerebral palsy (CP) is caused by static lesion to a developing nervous system that primarily affects motor function. Spastic motor involvement is characteristic of most of these individual.Dynamic equinus is a common deformity that worsens the ambulatory ability of both diplegic and hemiplegic conditions. The use of electromyographic (EMG) biofeedback has been suggested as a training tool to im...
