Abstract
The Effect of Gender, Age and Cerebral Palsy Sub-Type on The Prevalence of Specific Gait Deviations in Cerebral Palsy Children
Highlights
Cerebral palsy is a term used to describe a set of neurological conditions that affect movement
The result of this study shows that there is a significant difference in gait deviations based on gender, age and sub-type cerebral palsy classification in pediatrics
It is expected that this study will help researchers and clinicians focus their efforts in areas that will enhance the general functioning and the gait efficiency of children suffering from cerebral palsy instead of incorporating excessive treatment options that might have little or no effect on the gait improvement of patients with cerebral palsy
Summary
Cerebral palsy is a term used to describe a set of neurological conditions that affect movement. It is the most common form of childhood disability [1]. Cerebral palsy is primarily a disorder of movement and posture. It is defined as “umbrella term covering a group of non-progressive, but often changing, motor impairment syndromes secondary to lesion or anomalies of the brain arising in the stages of development” [2]. Cerebral palsy is a childhood condition in which there is a motor disability (palsy) caused by a static non-progressive lesion in the brain (cerebral). Cerebral is characterized by abnormal control of motor function and it may interfere with sensory function and intellectual development
