Summary

People with neuromotor disability (i.e. following an inborn or acquired spinal cord, cerebral or peripheral neurological lesion) are at risk of neuro-orthopaedic disorders. Microinvasive percutaneous needle tenotomy is a frequent use alternative to open surgery to treat limb deformities. A lower extremity traction is performed in our unit during 2 to 7 days after surgery of the knee flexor muscles. The aim of this study is to describe the efficiency of lower extremity traction on the popliteal angle after percutaneous needle tenotomy of the knee flexor muscles.

Detailed description

This is a prospective, monocentric, cohort study of neurological disabled inpatients subjects treated in the perioperative disability unit (UPOH) of our university hospital for limb deformities by percutaneous needle tenotomy of the knee flexor muscles. All eligible inpatient subjects with neuromotor disability and admitted for the treatment of limb deformities by percutaneous needle tenotomy of the knee flexor muscles will be consecutively included. Data will be collected from the patients' medical records, in particular data related to their clinical, radiological, biological, and physiological examinations. This is a routine care study; no procedures are added for research purposes. It is an ancillary study to the NO-AGING study.
