A cohort study of tibialis anterior tendon shortening in combination with calf muscle lengthening in spastic equinus in cerebral palsy

Highlights • The outcome of this combined procedure in cerebral palsy was evaluated. • Follow-up was performed using gait kinematics and clinical parameters. • Kinematics and clinical measures improved significantly. • Patients must have active dorsiflexion pre-operatively. • This procedure is a rec...

Description
Summary:	Highlights • The outcome of this combined procedure in cerebral palsy was evaluated. • Follow-up was performed using gait kinematics and clinical parameters. • Kinematics and clinical measures improved significantly. • Patients must have active dorsiflexion pre-operatively. • This procedure is a recommended option in ambulatory cerebral palsy patients.
