Percutaneous Versus Open Hamstring Lengthening in Spastic Diplegic Cerebral Palsy
Background: Open hamstring lengthening (oHSL) is commonly performed to decrease knee contracture and improvegait and posture for children with spastic diplegia. Furthermore, percutaneous hamstring lengthening (pHSL) is alsogaining popularity as an alternative to the open approach. This study aimed to compare the results of pHSL versusoHSL and to determine the efficacy and safe...
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 کاملComparison of hamstring transfer with hamstring lengthening in ambulatory children with cerebral palsy: further follow-up
BACKGROUND Overactivity or contractures of the hamstring muscles in ambulatory children with cerebral palsy (CP) can lead to either a jump gait (knee flexion associated with ankle plantar flexion) or a crouch gait (knee flexion associated with ankle dorsiflexion). Hamstring lengthening is performed to decrease stance knee flexion. However, this procedure carries the potential risk of weakening ...
متن کاملLateral Hamstring Tendon Transfer around the Lateral Gastrocnemius Head and Medial Hamstring Lengthening to Correct Crouch Gait in Diaplegic Spastic Cerebral Palsy
Background: Hamstring muscles contracture is a major problem in the management of the cerebral palsy CP patient causing the crouch gait which is one of the most resistant conditions to treat. Methods: Twenty patients (40 knees) with spastic cerebral palsy diaplegia, between 7 – 12 years of age, presented to The National Institute of Neuromotor System of Egypt, from January 2010 to January 2011....
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...
