Symmetry of Lower Limbs Kinematics in Children with Hemiparetic Cerebral Palsy performing Sit-to-Stand Movement – Pilot Study
نویسندگان
چکیده
The software Dvideow was utilized to track the marker coordinates. For data analysis, the 3D coordinates for each marker were submitted to the software Matlab. Moreover, the local coordinate systems were defined according to the International Society of Biomechanics. Ankle, knee and hip angles were evaluated in the beginning and ending of STS movement, in the tree planes of motion. Also, maximum and minimum angles, excursion and range were also analyzed.

[Purpose] This pilot study examined the immediate effects of quick-seated trunk exercise on sit-to-stand movement in children with cerebral palsy. [Subjects and Methods] Five children with spastic cerebral palsy (hemiplegia, 3; diplegia, 2; age 6-17 years) performed five sessions of natural-seated trunk exercise at a self-selected speed (control). Following a 50-min rest period, five sessions o...
