Eligibility

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: - Diagnosed with CP, Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) level II-IV - Age 8-12 years at the time of performing the 3DGA - Available 3DGA, with signed informed consent to use the data for research purposes - Available clinical examination (tibial torsion, femoral torsion, femoral anteversion angle)

Exclusion criteria: - Use of a stance correcting walking aid (for example ankle foot orthosis or orthopedic shoes) during 3DGA

Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
The primary objective of this research is to identify the orientation of the ankle, knee and hip joint axes of rotation (flexion-extension) with respect to the walking direction during gait and standing in children with CP. The orientation of the lower limb joint axes during stance phase of the gait cycle and the orientation during stance will be compared using a Pearson correlation and Bland-Altman analysis.	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
The secondary objective is to compare the orientation of the these joint axes during gait and standing in children with CP with a Pearson correlation and Bland-Altman analysis . In addition, we will determine the Pearson correlation and Bland-Altman analysis between the tibia and femoral torsion as measured during the clinical examination, the femoral anteversion angle from x-ray and the orientation of the axes during gait and standing.	—
