Correlation of Pelvic Asymmetry and Joint Movement During Gait in Children With Cerebral Palsy
Conditions
Keywords
Cerebral palsy, pelvic obliquity, joint movement
Brief summary
the study's particular goals were to determine whether excessive hip, knee, and ankle displacement at first contact during locomotion correlates with pelvic rotation.
Interventions
DEVICEthree dimensional formetric system
A three-dimensional computer program that automatically detects pelvic torsion, surface rotation, and anatomical landmarks. Aesculap-Meditec GMBH, based in the Netherlands, creates the Formetric Instrument System. Different subject heights could be accommodated by adjusting the scanner.
