Hip dysplasia cerebral palsy
Conditions
Interventions
Group 1: Children with cerebral palsy are examined using a movement analysis while performing rehabilitation exercises. The load in the hip joint is then quantified and described using musculoskeletal

Inclusion criteria: Children and adolescents with cerebral palsy: • Diagnosis of cerebral palsy (CP) • Age =8 to =18 years • GMFCS Level I-III • Cognitively able to follow instructions • Lie still in the MRI for at least 30 minutes • Be able to climb 3 steps (also with help) • Be able to squat (also with help) • To be able to execute the "bridging" exercise • Consent of the child or young person and the custodian • Only minors who are capable of understanding and adults who are capable of giving consent are included. Healthy Children and adolescents: • Age =8 to =18 years • Be able to perform the selected physiotherapy exercises • Be able to lie still for 30 minutes for an MRI scan • Consent of the child or young person and the custodian • Only minors who are capable of understanding and adults who are capable of giving consent are included.
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: Children and adolescents with cerebral palsy: • No diagnosis of cerebral palsy (CP) • GMFCS Level IV-V • Not able to climb stairs • Contraindication for an MRI examination (e.g. metals in and on the body such as prostheses, large-scale tattoos made from metal-containing dyes, pacemakers, piercings or subdermal jewelry implants that cannot be removed) • Pain, injury, or orthopedic / surgical intervention in the lower extremities, pelvis, or spine • Surgical interventions, botulinum toxin or other interventions affecting the musculoskeletal system during the study period or in the last six months. • Obesity • Children and adolescents who would need sedation for the planned MRI examination are excluded • No written consent to participate in the study Healthy children and adolescents: • Neurological diseases • Musculoskeletal disorders • Balance disorders or other pathologies that can influence the gait pattern or make it difficult to carry out movements • Contraindication for an MRT examination (e.g. metals in and on the body such as prostheses, large-scale tattoos made from metal-containing dyes, pacemakers, piercings or subdermal jewelry implants that cannot be removed) • Pain, injury, or orthopedic / surgical intervention in the lower extremities, pelvis, or spine • Surgical interventions, botulinum toxin or other interventions affecting the musculoskeletal system during the study period or in the last six months. • Obesity • Children and adolescents who would need sedation for the planned MRI examination are excluded • No written consent to participate in the study
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Magnitude (Newton) and orientation of the force vector (in degrees) of the hip joint force. The resultant hip joint contact force is calculated using musculoskeletal modeling. For this calculation, kinematic as well as kinetic and electromyographic data are collected experimentally, which are collected by means of a 3D-motion analysis. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Kinematic parameters (range of motion at knee and hip joints) during the execution of the rehabilitation exercises. | — |
