Brief Summary

The study was applied to assess the difference of the foot progression angle and measuring spatiotemporal parameters of gait among the three age groups (five to six, six to seven and seven to eight years), of diplegic cerebral palsied children and to investigate the relation between FPA of right and left lower extremity and spatiotemporal parameters of gait in diplegic cerebral palsied children. Sixty diplegic cerebral palsied children from both sexes with age ranged from five to eight years old were participated in this study. Children were selected from the outpatient clinic of faculty of physical therapy, Cairo University. They were divided into three equal age groups, group (A) from five to six years, group (B) from six to seven years and group (C) from seven to eight years. Foot progression angle and spatiotemporal parameters of gait were evaluated for each participated child by the use of dynamic footprint during walking barefoot at free walking speed.

Study Population

this study were to determine the side differences (right and left sides) on FPA values in diplegic CP children and to measuring spatiotemporal parameters of gait (step length, stride length, speed, cadence, single leg support) in diplegic CP children from five to eight years and to investigate the relation between foot progression angle of right and left lower extremity and spatiotemporal parameters of gait in diplegic cerebral palsied children. The study applied at the out clinic of faculty of physical therapy Cairo university

You may qualify if:

• Their age will be ranged from six to eight years.
• Children diagnosed as diplegic and/or hemiplegic CP.
• Children who can stand and ambulate without the use of an assistive device (At Level II or III on the Gross Motor Function Classification System).
• Their degree of spasticity will be ranged from 1 to 1+ according to the Modified Ashworth Scale.
• Children who are able to follow instructions and understand commands given to them during the testing procedure.
• Dynamic foot print will be used to assess FPA and spatial parameter of gait (step length and stride length).

You may not qualify if:

• Children with Convulsions.
• Children with fixed contractures of lower extremities.
• Children with surgical interventions in the lower extremities.
• Children with visual and\\or auditory disorders.
