Pemberton's osteotomy is used in early treatment but it remains unclear whether it will help the patient regain normal balance control during gait. The current study aimed to identify the changes of the whole-body balance control during level walking in children treated for unilateral DDH during toddlerhood, in terms of inclination angles (IA) of the line joining the body's center of mass (COM) and center of pressure (COP), and the rate of change of IA (RCIA). Materials and Methods: Twelve girls (DDH group; age: 7.1 ± 2.1 years) who had been treated with Pemberton's osteotomy for unilateral DDH during toddlerhood and twelve healthy controls (Control group; age: 7.6 ± 2.1 years) walked at their preferred walking speed while IA, RCIA and temporal-spatial parameters were calculated from measured kinematic and forceplate data, and were compared using independent t-tests. Results: Compared to the Control group, the DDH group showed significantly decreased sagittal IA (p = 0.042) but increased range of sagittal RCIA during SLS on the unaffected side (p = 0.006), and increased peak sagittal RCIA during DLS (p < 0.008). In the frontal plane, the altered COM-COP control occurred mainly during stance phase of the affected side, showing a decreased range of RCIA during SLS (p = 0.033) followed by decreased IA (p = 0.045) with an increased peak value of RCIA (p = 0.023) during terminal DLS. Conclusions: The children with treated unilateral DDH showed compromised, bilaterally different balance control strategies with altered COM-COP control during gait, not only during stance in the frontal plane as expected, but even more so during swing in the sagittal plane. It is thus suggested that routine assessment of the morphological changes and/or altered balance control of both the unaffected and affected hips is equally important for early identification of any signs of insidious hip problems, deteriorating balance control or increased risk of loss of balance. ? 2021 Elsevier B.V. |
