Pre-operative gastrocnemius lengths in gait predict outcomes following gastrocnemius lengthening surgery in children with cerebral palsy.
Equinus deformity is one of the most common gait deformities in children with cerebral palsy. We examined whether estimates of gastrocnemius length in gait could identify limbs likely to have short-term and long-term improvements in ankle kinematics following gastrocnemius lengthening surgery to cor...
