Influence of Immobilization, Stretching, and Activity on the Morphological Properties of Spastic Gastrocnemius Muscles
Background/Objectives: Children with cerebral palsy (CP) often develop altered muscle architecture and calf muscle contractures. Orthotic immobilization aims to provide prolonged stretch to lengthen the muscle belly and muscle-tendon unit (MTU), but immobilization may also cause atrophy. This study investigated whether immobilization combined with periods of daily muscle activation has a different effect on calf muscle properties than continuous …
The Ponseti Method vs. Surgical Treatment for Idiopathic Clubfoot
Background: Idiopathic clubfoot is a common skeletal deformity in newborns that can cause functional limitations, pain, and reduced quality of life. The Ponseti method has become the gold standard for clubfoot treatment, replacing previous extensive surgical approaches. However, there is a lack of prospective long-term data comparing surgical and Ponseti treatments. Methods: This is a follow-up on a single-center, prospective, randomized clinical…
Kinematic and Kinetic Gait Parameters Can Distinguish between Idiopathic and Neurologic Toe-Walking
The differentiation between mild forms of toe-walking (equinus) in cerebral palsy (CP) and idiopathic toe-walking (ITW) is often clinically challenging. This study aims to define kinematic and kinetic parameters using 3D gait analysis to facilitate and secure the diagnosis of "idiopathic toe-walking". We conducted a retrospective controlled stratified cohort study. 12 toe-walking subjects per group diagnosed as ITW or CP were included and stratif…
Acute Effects of Static and Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation Stretching of the Plantar Flexors on Ankle Range of Motion and Muscle-Tendon Behavior in Children with Spastic Cerebral Palsy—A Ra…
Stretching is considered a clinically effective way to prevent muscle contracture development in children with spastic cerebral palsy (CP). Therefore, in this study, we assessed the effects of a single session of proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) or static stretching (SS) on ankle joint range of motion (RoM) and gastrocnemius muscle-tendon behavior in children with CP. During the SS ( n = 8), the ankle joint was held in maximum dors…
