Bilateral proximal release of the hamstrings in cerebral palsy.

چکیده
In the surgery of cerebral palsy, tenotomy of the hamstrings near their insertion, with or without reinsertion into the femur, is an established and useful operation (Eggers 1952, Pollock and Sharrard 1958). Division of the tendinous origin of the hamstring muscles is not so well known. We have done this operation with considerable success when the quadriceps muscle is acting strongly and tightness of the hamstrings limits flexion of the hip.

Effects of Leap Motion Controller on Improving Hand Function in Children with Bilateral Spastic Cerebral Palsy
Background and purpose: Cerebral palsy (CP) is a term used to classify children with non-progressive lesions in the developing brain. Bilateral spastic is the most common type of cerebral palsy. Reduced ability to manipulate objects is one of limiting factors in daily activities of these children and its improvements is one of the most important therapeutic goals. The aim of this study was to i...
متن کاملContracture of the hamstrings in spastic cerebral palsy. A study of three methods of operative correction.
The aim of this prospective study of postural fiexion deformity of the knee in spastic cerebral palsy was to acquire some experience of proximal elongation of the hamstrings, and then to compare the results of three different methods of operative correction. It was hoped in this way to establish the indications for treatment and the choice of operation. The reason why spastic patients often sta...

متن کاملThe effect of walking speed on hamstrings length and lengthening velocity in children with spastic cerebral palsy.
Children with cerebral palsy often walk with reduced knee extension in terminal swing, which can be associated with short length or slow lengthening velocity of hamstrings muscles during gait. This study investigated the role of two factors that may contribute to such short and slow hamstrings: walking speed and spasticity. 17 children with spastic cerebral palsy and 11 matched typically develo...
