Description
Camille Dussault-Picard and co-authors film children with cerebral palsy walking on rough ground to see how their joints adapt, in a 2023 study. Seventeen children with the spastic form and seventeen peers walked a short track laid flat, then at two levels of unevenness, wearing reflective markers. Lab gait tests usually use flat floors, which miss daily challenges.
On the roughest surface, the children with cerebral palsy bent their hips and knees more and lost hip stretch late in each step. Their hip and knee also moved in tighter lockstep during the swing phase than peers showed. The authors suggest rehab should train on uneven ground.
