[Distal rectus femoris tendon transfer in cerebral palsy patients].
PURPOSE OF THE STUDY Cerebral palsy is a serious world-wide problem; its incidence ranges from one to five per thousand of live-born children and is much influenced by gestation age and birth weight. In orthopaedic treatment of lower extremity motor disorders, one of the options for contracture or deformity elimination and for stiff leg gait improvement is rectus femoris tendon transfer. The ai...
متن کاملRectus Femoris Tendon Calcification
Background: Since it was developed, hip arthroscopy has become the favored treatment for femoroacetabular impingement. Due to recent considerable improvements, the indications for this technique have been widely extended. Injuries of the rectus femoris tendon origin, after an acute phase, could result in a chronic tendinopathy with calcium hydroxyapatite crystal deposition, leading to pain and ...
متن کاملThree-dimensional muscle-tendon geometry after rectus femoris tendon transfer.
BACKGROUND Rectus femoris tendon transfer is performed in patients with cerebral palsy to improve knee flexion during walking. This procedure involves detachment of the muscle from its insertion into the quadriceps tendon and reattachment to one of the knee flexor muscles. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the muscle-tendon geometry and to assess the formation of scar tissue betw...
متن کاملIn vivo motion of the rectus femoris muscle after tendon transfer surgery.
Rectus femoris transfer surgery is performed to convert the rectus femoris muscle from a knee extensor to a knee flexor. In this surgery, the distal tendon of the rectus femoris is detached from the patella and reattached to one of the knee flexor tendons. The outcomes of this procedure are variable, and it is not known if the surgery successfully converts the muscle to a knee flexor. We measur...
متن کاملEffects of quadriceps femoris muscle strengthening on crouch gait in children with spastic diplegia.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Despite evidence of weakness in children with cerebral palsy, the use of strength training in this population remains controversial. SUBJECTS Fourteen children with spastic diplegia, ranging in age from 6 to 14 years (X = 9.1, SD = 2.5), participated in a bilateral quadriceps femoris muscle strengthening program. METHODS The children exercised three times per week for...
