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 کاملMuscle Coordination and Energy Cost in Voluntary Crouch Gait
Introduction Crouch gait is a well known pathological gait pattern that is often present in diplegic children with a cerebral palsy, eg. [1]. Though the effect of crouch gait on muscle length and interventions at the muscular level on the crouch position are well studied [2,3], it is not known how changes in muscle kinetics are related to the changed posture and mechanisms of propulsion. Howeve...
متن کاملRectus femoris transfer in multilevel surgery: technical details and gait outcome assessment in cerebral palsy patients.
INTRODUCTION In children with cerebral palsy the abnormal activity of the rectus femoris (RF) during the swing phase results in "stiff-knee gait". Transferring the RF to a knee flexor tendon improves this stiffness. The effect may be limited by adhesions from scar tissue or from angular deviations along the surgically created muscle tendon route. HYPOTHESIS The goal of this study was to asses...
متن کاملMultilevel surgery for equinus gait in children with spastic diplegic cerebral palsy: medium-term follow-up with gait analysis.
BACKGROUND In children with spastic diplegia, surgery for ankle equinus contracture is associated with a high prevalence of both overcorrection, which may result in a calcaneal deformity and crouch gait, and recurrent equinus contracture, which may require revision surgery. We sought to determine if conservative surgery for equinus gait, in the context of multilevel surgery, could result in the...
متن کاملOrthopedic surgery in cerebral palsy: Instructional course lecture
Orthopedic surgery (OS) plays an important role in the management of cerebral palsy (CP). The objectives of OS are to optimize functions and prevent deformity. Newer developments in OS for CP include emphasis on hip surveillance, minimally invasive procedures, use of external fixators instead of plates and screws, better understanding of lever arm dysfunctions (that can only be corrected by bon...
