The effect of postural control and balance on femoral anteversion in children with spastic cerebral palsy
[Purpose] The aim of the study was to investigate the relationships between femoral anteversion and functional balance and postural control in children with spastic cerebral palsy. [Subjects and Methods] Twenty children with spastic cerebral palsy (mean age=12.4 ± 4.5) with grosss motor functional classification system levels I, II, and III were recruited for this study. Functional balance was ...
متن کاملLong-term changes in femoral anteversion and hip rotation following femoral derotational osteotomy in children with cerebral palsy.
BACKGROUND Excessive femoral anteversion is common in cerebral palsy (CP), is often associated with internal hip rotation during gait, and is frequently treated with a femoral derotational osteotomy (FDO). Concerns exist regarding long-term maintenance of surgical outcomes. Past studies report varying rates of recurrence, but none have employed a control group. METHODS We conducted a retrospe...
متن کاملFemoral anteversion: a necessary angle or an evolutionary vestige?
In an adult man the mean femoral anteversion angle measures approximately 15 degrees, for which the reasons have never been fully elucidated. An assortment of simian and quadruped mammalian femora was therefore examined and the anteversion angles measured. A simple static mathematical model was then produced to explain the forces acting on the neck of the femur in the quadruped and in man. Femo...
متن کاملA direct method of measuring femoral anteversion using ultrasound.
The measurements of the angle of anteversion of the femoral neck by ultrasound scanning is described. The method was compared with direct measurement in 30 dried femora, and was then used in 18 normal volunteers and eight patients. The method is non-invasive, accurate and easily applicable. Findings in normal subjects included variation of the angle of anteversion from 10 to 34 degrees with a m...
متن کاملVariation in Femoral Anteversion
Femoral anteversion has recently gained popularity in research in light of its practical applications in hip replacement surgery. Previously, surgeons would estimate the placement of a prosthetic femoral neck by standards based on homogenous populations of Caucasian males. This research project seeks to correct this bias by exploring the variation in femoral anteversion by sex, ethnicity, body ...
