Crouch 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 کاملCan biomechanical variables predict improvement in crouch gait?
Many patients respond positively to treatments for crouch gait, yet surgical outcomes are inconsistent and unpredictable. In this study, we developed a multivariable regression model to determine if biomechanical variables and other subject characteristics measured during a physical exam and gait analysis can predict which subjects with crouch gait will demonstrate improved knee kinematics on a...
متن کاملCrouch Gait is More Stable than Normal Gait
Normal gait is a pattern of walking that humans normally adopt in undisturbed situations. Gait patterns are considered to be either abnormal or impaired if they do not satisfy certain key attributes of normal gait. It has previously been postulated that normal gait is more energy efficient than abnormal or impaired gait. However, it is not clear whether a normal gait pattern is also superior to...
متن کاملTrunk 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 کاملImportance of preswing rectus femoris activity in stiff-knee gait.
Stiff-knee gait is characterized by diminished and delayed knee flexion during swing. Rectus femoris transfer surgery, a common treatment for stiff-knee gait, is often recommended when a patient exhibits prolonged activity of the rectus femoris muscle during swing. Treatment outcomes are inconsistent, in part, due to limited understanding of the biomechanical factors contributing to stiff-knee ...
