Comparison of Walking Parameters Between Idiopathic Toe Walking and Independent Walking Diparetic Cerebral Palsy

NCT06142721 | Completed

• 1 other identifier: FEROL
• Study Type: observational
• Target: 51
• Locations: 1 country
• Sites: 1

Brief Summary

The aim of the observational study is to compare static, kinematic and kinetic parameters with normal gait parameters in cases with Idiopathic toe walking (ITW) and Diparetic Cerebral Palsy (DCP) who have Gross Motor Function Classification System 1 level with the 3D Gait Analysis method, and to enable the early diagnosis of DCP and ITW. Male and female cases aged between 3-18 years will be included. This study will be carried out at Acıbadem Altunizade Hospital.

Conditions

Gait Disorders in Children; Cerebral Palsy Spastic Diplegia

Keywords

Toe walking; cerebral palsy; idiopathic toe walking; 3D gait analysis

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• 3D Gait Analysis

  Sixteen markers defined according to the Modified Helen Heyes protocol are applied to certain anatomical regions of both lower extremities. 3D gait analysis can precisely calculate joint angles and movement patterns in all three planes. Collect spatio-temporal data.

  Baseline

Study Arms (3)

ITW Group

3D gait analysis was applied to children with idiopathic toe walking. Static, kinematic and kinetic walking parameters were evaluated.

Other: 3D Gait Analysis

DCP Group

3D gait analysis was applied to diparetic children who were able to walk independently. Static, kinematic and kinetic walking parameters were evaluated.

Other: 3D Gait Analysis

Healthy Group

3D gait analysis was applied to healthy children. Static, kinematic and kinetic walking parameters were evaluated.

Other: 3D Gait Analysis

Interventions

3D Gait Analysis OTHER

3D gait analysis was applied to children. Static, kinematic and kinetic walking parameters were evaluated

DCP Group; Healthy Group; ITW Group

Study Population

A total of 51 cases, including 17 ITW(female:4;male:13), 15 DCP(female:5;male:10) and 19 Control groups (female:6;male:13), were included.

You may qualify if:

• Voluntary consent from family
• Diagnosed with idiopathic toe walking and spastic diparesis between the ages of 3-18.
• Cases with GMFCS 1
• The patients who applied to the healthy children's clinic, showed typical development, did not have any musculoskeletal and neurological problems, and wished to voluntarily participate in the study were included in the control group.

You may not qualify if:

• Refusing to participate in the study
• Under the age of 3 and over the age of 18
• Not at GMFCS 1 level
• Cases who did not have any orthopedic problems other than accompanying toe walking were excluded from the study.
