Crouch gait or flexed-knee gait in cerebral palsy: Is there a difference? A systematic review
R O'Sullivan, A Marron, K Brady - Gait & Posture, 2020 - Elsevier
Background Crouch or flexed-knee gait is one of the most common pathological gait

How does patellar tendon advancement alter the knee extensor mechanism in children treated for crouch gait?
Background The patellar tendon advancement (PTA) procedure, often coupled with a distal
femoral extension osteotomy (DFEO), is increasingly used to treat persistent crouch gait. In …
