Trunk Kinematic Analysis during Gait in Cerebral Palsy Children with Crouch Gait Pattern
Background: Deficits in upper body movement have received little attention during gait in cerebral palsy (CP) children with crouch gait pattern (CGP).Objective: Purpose of this research is to describe the correlation of trunk movement with the excessive knee flexion and ankle kinematic in CP children with CGP.Methods: Gait analysis data from 57 limbs of diplegic CP children with CGP and 26 limb...
متن کاملRelevance of the popliteal angle to hamstring length in cerebral palsy crouch gait.
The popliteal angle is a widely used clinical means of assessing hamstring length in cerebral palsy patients. The relevance of the popliteal angle as a measure of hamstring length was assessed in this prospective study. Sixteen patients with cerebral palsy with crouch gait had their conventional and modified popliteal angles measured by nine observers on two separate occasions. With use of the ...
متن کاملCrouch Gait in Dravet Syndrome
Investigators from Necker Enfants Malades Hospital, Sorbonne Paris Cite University, Raymond Poincare University, and Paris Descartes University studied motor neuron function in children with Dravet syndrome (DS).
متن کاملMuscle length and lengthening velocity in voluntary crouch gait.
The purpose of this study was to explore how origin-insertion length and lengthening velocity of hamstring and psoas muscle change as a result of crouch gait. The second purpose was to study the effect of changes in walking speed, in crouch, on muscle lengths and velocities. Eight healthy female subjects walked on a treadmill both normally and in crouch. In the crouch condition, subjects walked...
متن کاملOutcomes of combined hamstring release and rectus transfer in children with crouch gait.
BACKGROUND Our aim was to evaluate the outcomes of combined hamstring release and rectus transfer in children with crouch gait using physical examination and gait analysis. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 19 patients (38 knee joints) with crouch were evaluated by static examination and computerized analysis with dynamic EMG. The Ely test was positive together with prolonged and increased act...
