Analysis of the causes of pathological patterns of the kinematic locomotor profile based on the findings of computer gait analysis in children with spastic CP types

To interpret the clinical gait analysis (CGA), it is necessary to associate changes in gait with clinical impairment and differentiate the primary deviations in the gait stereotype from compensatory adaptive changes. Purpose To assess the pathological elements of the locomotor profile according to video gait analysis and clinical examination of patients; to compare the abnormalities identified in gait kinematics with the probable clinical causes of these abnormalities. Materials and methods Clinical examination and assessment of the locomotor profile with video gait analysis (CGA) were performed in 46 children (92 limbs) with bilateral spastic types of cerebral palsy (25 boys, 21 girls). We used 6 Qualisys Oqus cameras and one AMTI dynamometric platform (Advanced Mechanical Technology Inc., Watertown, MA, USA) with passive marker video capture technology. The IOR model was used for installing markers. The patterns of the locomotor profile adopted by the Delphic Convention were analyzed...
