Dependence of Gait Deviation on Weight-Bearing Asymmetry and Postural Instability in Children with Unilateral Cerebral Palsy
Postural control deficits have been suggested to be a major component of gait disorders in children with cerebral palsy. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between postural stability and treadmill walking, in children with unilateral cerebral palsy, by defining dependence between the posturographic weight-bearing distribution and center of pressure (CoP) sway during q...
متن کاملMuscle strength does not explain standing ability in children with bilateral spastic cerebral palsy: a cross sectional descriptive study
BACKGROUND In bilateral cerebral palsy (CP) muscle strength is considered important for development of gross motor functions, but its influence on standing ability has not been explored. Our aims were to examine muscle strength with respect to the ability to stand with (SwS) or without (SwoS) hand support, asymmetrical weight bearing (WB), and whether the ability to produce strength was influen...
متن کاملDesign and Investigation the Effectiveness of Gait Enhancer on Standing Ability and Walking Speed in Children With Cerebral Palsy
Objective: The purpose of this study was to design and investigate the effectiveness of gait training with Gait Enhancer on standing ability and walking speed in children with cerebral palsy. Materials and methods: We designed a new gait trainer according to Theo Jansen mechanism. Two separated Jansen linkages were placed on both sides of a frame and were connected to the lower limb at the ank...

متن کاملDynamic Balance During Gait in Children With Spastic Diplegic Cerebral Palsy Versus Normal Children
Purpose: Cerebral Palsy (CP) can negatively affect dynamic stability in children with spastic diplegic Cerebral Palsy during walking. This condition results in a high risk of falling. There is limited evidence regarding the dynamic stability of children with Cerebral Palsy. Thus, this study aimed to investigate the dynamic stability of children with spastic diplegic Cerebral Palsy, compared to ...
