NCT05957783 | Completed DMC

• 1 other identifier: Cerebralpalsy
• Study Type: observational
• Target: 59

Brief Summary

İntroduction The upper limb can be involved in children with cerebral palsy (CP), while the lower limb is more commonly affected. Little is known regarding the alterations in the upper limb kinematics after the orthopedic surgery of the lower extremity during gait. This study aimed to evaluate the differences in the upper limb kinematics in children with CP between preoperative and postoperative parameters.

Conditions

Cerebral Palsy; Gait Analysis; Gait Disorders, Neurologic; Gait Disorders in Children

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Upper extremity angle measure in the all gait phases.

  initial contact (1), loading (2), midstance (3), terminal stance (4), pre-swing (5), early swing (6), mid-swing (7), and terminal swing (8) phases in the sagittal plane, and the following angles were measured: wrist sagittal plane angle, elbow sagittal plane angle, shoulder sagittal plane angle, trunk sagittal plane angle and head sagittal plane angle. In the coronal plane, the videos were paused at initial contact and midstance, and the following angles were measured: shoulder coronal plane angle, trunk coronal plane angle and head coronal plane angle.
