Supervised classification of the effect of hamstrings lengthening in cerebral palsy children after single event multilevel surgery
Résumé
Single event multilevel surgery (SEMLS) purpose is to improve the cerebral palsy (CP) children's gait by associating multiple surgeries on the same therapeutic time. It is therefore complex to isolate the effect of these actions in this multifocal context. To address this problem we chose to specifically identify the effect of hamstrings lengthening (HL) in CP children with crouch gait. The aims of this study were to describe the specific parameters influenced by HL and to classify the positive or not-positive effect of HL in SEMLS.
