Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Electromyography | followup reached 96months | To assess the proper function of transposed muscles the electromyographic tests were used to assess the proper electroactivity of transposed vastus lateralis muscles. The measured values of amplitude (mV) and conduction velocity(ms) were analyzed. |
| Motor tests - performance of ''sit-up''-like movement | Followup reached 96 months | Patients were asked to perform situp-like movement with legs fasetned before surgical transposition of muscles and then 12 months postoperatively. It was assessed in 0/1 manner. 0 - patient not able to do the sit-up, 1 - patient able to do the sit-up |
