Upper extremity dynamics during Lofstrand crutch-assisted gait in children with myelomeningocele.
BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVE We present a 3-dimensional biomechanical model of the upper extremities to characterize joint dynamics during 2 patterns of Lofstrand crutch-assisted gait in children with myelomeningocele. The upper extremity model incorporates recommendations by the International Society of Biomechanics. METHODS A Vicon motion analysis system (14 cameras) captured the marker patterns. I...

Background: Children with myelomeningocele (MMC) develop a wide variety of hip deformities such as muscle imbalance, contracture, subluxation, and dislocation. Various methods and indications have been introduced for treatment of muscle imbalances and other hip problems in patients with MMC but there is no study or meta-analysis to compare the results and complications. This review aims to fi...
متن کاملCentre of mass motion during gait in persons with myelomeningocele.
The movement of the centre of mass in the vertical and lateral directions during gait in children with myelomeningocele was analyzed. The children were classified into five groups depending on the successive paresis of lower limb muscle groups and compared to a control group. In the groups with dorsi- and plantarflexor weakness, the excursions increased and an anterior trend in the centre of ma...
متن کاملGait analysis in children affected by myelomeningocele: comparison of the various levels of lesion.
The aim of this study was to utilise the gait analysis (GA) methodology to characterise the walking act in children with different levels of myelomeningocele. To this end, we analysed 30 children (mean age 11 +/- 3 years, still able to walk without ortheses) grouped according to the site of their neurological lesion (localised from L4 down to S5); ten healthy children (mean age 9 +/- 2 years) w...
