To identify gait patterns in a large group of children with diplegic cerebral palsy and to characterize each group according to age, Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) level, Gait Deviation Index (GDI) and previous surgical procedures.

2018年7月1日 · A diplegic gait (a.k.a scissoring gait) may be caused by a lesion in the central nervous system (e.g. stroke, or complete transection of the spinal cord). Clinical findings are similar to those in hemiplegic gait but are bilateral in nature.
