BACKGROUND It is known that individuals with bilateral spastic cerebral palsy (BSCP) have small and weak muscles. However, no studies to date have investigated intramuscular fat infiltration in this group.

متن کاملThe outcome of surgical intervention for early deformity in young ambulant children with bilateral spastic cerebral palsy.
We reviewed the outcome in 24 children with bilateral spastic cerebral palsy aged seven years or younger for whom surgery was recommended between 1999 and 2005 following gait analysis. A total of 13 children (operative group) had surgery and the remaining 11 (control group) did not, for family or administrative reasons. The operative group had at least two post-operative gait analyses at yearly...
متن کاملCan clinical gait analysis guide the management of ambulant children with bilateral spastic cerebral palsy?
BACKGROUND The role of clinical gait analysis in the management of ambulant children with bilateral spastic cerebral palsy (BSCP) is controversial. We hypothesized that gait analysis would allow us to differentiate between children with BSCP who would benefit from surgical intervention and those in whom surgery was not indicated. METHODS We reviewed the outcome in 3 groups of children with BS...
