Abstract
Abstract Background: Torsional disorders and flexed knee gait are frequently pronounced in spastic diplegic cerebral palsy (CP) children. Identification of these anomalies is essential as they affect postural control
Highlights
Cerebral Palsy (CP) is an umbrella term used to describe a group of posture and movement disorders, due to non progressive lesions in the immature brain, there are many causal pathways and many types and degrees of disability [1]
12 children were excluded (5 children due to surgeries of lower limbs, 3 children’ parents refused to participate, 4 children after revising their CT scan reports of FA angles were more than 50o)
The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship of femoral anteversion, knee flexion angles and balance in spastic diplegic cerebral palsy (CP) children
Summary
Cerebral Palsy (CP) is an umbrella term used to describe a group of posture and movement disorders, due to non progressive lesions in the immature brain, there are many causal pathways and many types and degrees of disability [1]. Spastic cerebral palsy is the most common type and shows motor disorders, which are spasticity, deep tendon reflex exaggeration, and muscle weakness. As a result, those children show both kinetic and kinematic changes in addition to various forms of gait deviations and poor balance [3,4,5]. Torsional disorders and flexed knee gait are frequently pronounced in spastic diplegic cerebral palsy (CP) children. Identification of these anomalies is essential as they affect postural control and balance reactions. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the relation between femoral anteversion(FA) angle, knee angle and balance in spastic diplegic CP children
