Comparison of Walking Parameters Between Idiopathic Toe Walking and Independent Walking Diparetic Cerebral Palsy

Comparison of Walking Parameters Between Idiopathic Toe Walking Children and Children With Independent Walking Diparetic Cerebral Palsy

• Status: Completed
• Phase: —
• Study type: Observational
• Enrollment: 51 (actual)
• Sponsor: Biruni University · Academic / Other
• Sex: All
• Age: 3 Years – 18 Years
• Healthy volunteers: Accepted

Summary

The aim of the observational study is to compare static, kinematic and kinetic parameters with normal gait parameters in cases with Idiopathic toe walking (ITW) and Diparetic Cerebral Palsy (DCP) who have Gross Motor Function Classification System 1 level with the 3D Gait Analysis method, and to enable the early diagnosis of DCP and ITW. Male and female cases aged between 3-18 years will be included. This study will be carried out at Acıbadem Altunizade Hospital.

Detailed description

It is an observational study. The aim of the observational study is to compare static, kinematic and kinetic parameters with normal gait parameters in cases with Idiopathic toe walking (ITW) and Diparetic Cerebral Palsy (DCP) who have Gross Motor Function Classification System 1 level with the 3D Gait Analysis method, and to enable the early diagnosis of DCP and ITW. Male and female cases aged between 3-18 years will be included. This study will be carried out at Acıbadem Altunizade Hospital. 51 cases will be included in our study. These cases will be divided into three groups. The first group will consist of patients diagnosed with idioaptic toe walking (n:17), the second group will be composed of diparetic cerebral palsy (n:15) with independent ambulation, and the third group will be the control group (n:19). First, the demographic information of the cases will be recorded. With 3D walking analysis, kinetic, kinematic and static data will be collected. The analysis of the obtained data will be done with Polygon Software (Vicon, Oxford, UK). Evaluated kinetic, kinematic and static parameters will be compared between three groups. Is the lower extremity compensation of children with diparetic cerebral palsy who can walk independently more than children with idiopathic toe walking?
