Background:Children with cerebral palsy (CP) present a pathological gait pattern due to musculoskeletal impairments, such as muscle weakness and altered bony geometry. However, the effect of these impairments on performance is still unknown. Research aim:This study aimed explore hip femoral deformities CP typical developing (TD) subjects. Methods:6400 models were created by weakening extensors,...

Streptococcus gallolyticus is often found as a normal member of the gut microflora of various animals, while it has been reported to cause mastitis in cattle, septicemia in pigeons, and meningitis, sepsis, and endocarditis in humans (2). The species, which includes strains formerly identified as Streptococcus bovis biotye I and S. bovis biotype II/2, can be distinguished from other related taxa...

We report a case in a pediatric patient with pyruvate dehydrogenase deficiency who presented for a left foot tendon transfer with an Achilles tendon lengthening secondary to left ankle equinus. The pathophysiology of pyruvate dehydrogenase deficiency is discussed as well as anesthetic management in patients with pyruvate dehydrogenase deficiency.

OBJECTIVES This study was conducted to evaluate the long term clinical and electrophysiological outcome by recording the H reflex in a consecutive series of six patients treated by selective tibial neurotomy for spastic equinus foot. METHOD The amplitudes of Hmax reflexes, Mmax responses, and Hmax:Mmax ratio were recorded in six patients with chronic lower limb spasticity, before and after su...
