Percutaneous Versus Open Hamstring Lengthening in Spastic Diplegic Cerebral Palsy
Background: Open hamstring lengthening (oHSL) is commonly performed to decrease knee contracture and improvegait and posture for children with spastic diplegia. Furthermore, percutaneous hamstring lengthening (pHSL) is alsogaining popularity as an alternative to the open approach. This study aimed to compare the results of pHSL versusoHSL and to determine the efficacy and safe...
متن کاملComparison of hamstring transfer with hamstring lengthening in ambulatory children with cerebral palsy: further follow-up
BACKGROUND Overactivity or contractures of the hamstring muscles in ambulatory children with cerebral palsy (CP) can lead to either a jump gait (knee flexion associated with ankle plantar flexion) or a crouch gait (knee flexion associated with ankle dorsiflexion). Hamstring lengthening is performed to decrease stance knee flexion. However, this procedure carries the potential risk of weakening ...
متن کاملLateral Hamstring Tendon Transfer around the Lateral Gastrocnemius Head and Medial Hamstring Lengthening to Correct Crouch Gait in Diaplegic Spastic Cerebral Palsy
Background: Hamstring muscles contracture is a major problem in the management of the cerebral palsy CP patient causing the crouch gait which is one of the most resistant conditions to treat. Methods: Twenty patients (40 knees) with spastic cerebral palsy diaplegia, between 7 – 12 years of age, presented to The National Institute of Neuromotor System of Egypt, from January 2010 to January 2011....

15 صفحه اولKnee Moment-Angle Characteristics and Semitendinosus Muscle Morphology in Children with Spastic Paresis Selected for Medial Hamstring Lengthening
To increase knee range of motion and improve gait in children with spastic paresis (SP), the semitendinosus muscle (ST) amongst other hamstring muscles is frequently lengthened by surgery, but with variable success. Little is known about how the pre-surgical mechanical and morphological characteristics of ST muscle differ between children with SP and typically developing children (TD). The aims...
