Ventricular dilation: association with gait and cognition.

29 Sep 2009 OBJECTIVE: Normal pressure hydrocephalus is characterized by gait impairment, cognitive impairment, and urinary incontinence, and is associated with disproportionate ventricular dilation. Here we report the distribution of ventricular volume ... Read more...

Distal femoral extension osteotomy and patellar tendon advancement to treat persistent crouch gait in cerebral palsy. Surgical technique.

29 Sep 2009 BACKGROUND: Hallmarks of a persistent crouched walking pattern exhibited by individuals with cerebral palsy usually include loss of an adequate plantar flexion/knee extension couple, hamstring and/or psoas tightness, or contracture in conjunction ... Read more...

The efficacy of the floor-reaction ankle-foot orthosis in children with cerebral palsy.

29 Sep 2009 BACKGROUND: The floor-reaction ankle-foot orthosis is commonly prescribed for children with cerebral palsy who walk with excessive ankle dorsiflexion and excessive knee flexion during the stance phase of gait. The purposes of this study were to ... Read more...
