Brief Summary

Cerebral palsy (CP) is the most prevalent physical disabilities originating in childhood. Crouch gait is a common gait abnormality in patients with cerebral palsy, which is common treated with hamstring lengthening. This surgery can alter mechanical property of lower limb and affected ability of generating force in hamstring, leading changes in functional activities. Therefore, the first aim of this study is to investigate the effects of hamstring lengthening on pelvis and hip control while performing functional activity, including level walking and sit-to-stand.
