This study aimed to investigate the balance control of children with spastic diplegic CP during level walking. The COM-COP inclination angles and angular velocities, as well as temporal-spatial variables from 12 children with spastic diplegic CP (seven girls and five boys, aged 12.4 ± 4.4 years) and 12 normal controls (eight girls and four boys, aged 11.2 ± 4.4 years) were obtained using a motion analysis system and two forceplates. With compromised balance control as a result of neuromusculoskeletal pathologies, the CP group walked with reduced walking speed and stride length (p < 0.05), but increased stride time and step width (p < 0.05), indicating reduced gait efficiency. They also showed significantly reduced anterioposterior COM-COP inclination angles and angular velocities (p < 0.05), but increased mediolateral COM-COP inclination angles and angular velocities (p < 0.05) when compared to the normal controls. The latter phenomenon may be related to an increased risk of falling in these patients. Therefore, it appears that programs and/or devices for preventing falls are needed for children with spastic diplegic CP. ? 2011 National Taiwan University. |
