Prediction of gait neuromechanics following orthopedic interventions in children with cerebral palsy using computer simulations based on personalized models KU Leuven
Children with cerebral palsy (CP) suffer from a brain lesion that leads to impaired motor control, spasticity and muscle weakness. All these factors undermine the subjects' gait performance and, with time, will pose limitation to their mobility, independence and self-care. Orthopedic interventions aim at improving the walking performance. However, functional outcomes are not always as expected and, often, follow up surgery is needed to ...
