Background Three-dimensional gait analysis (3DGA) is commonly used to assess the effect
of orthopedic single-event multilevel surgery (SEMLS) in children with spastic cerebral palsy …

Introduction Rectus femoris (RF) transfer was long the gold-standard treatment for stiff knee
gait (SKG), but efficacy now seems less than that of distal RF release. The aim of the present …

Reduced knee flexion is a leading feature of post-stroke gait, but the causes have not been
well understood. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between the …

Background: The evidence for distal rectus femoris transfer as a part of multilevel surgery for
the correction of stiff-knee gait in children with spastic diplegic cerebral palsy is limited …

Abstract Background/Aims Multilevel surgical intervention is a common approach for the
correction of gait abnormalities in children with cerebral palsy (CP). The short-term …

While past investigations focused on describing pelvic motion patterns in the frontal and
transversal plane, the sagittal plane “double bump” pattern commonly found in children with …

Purpose The purpose of this study was for an international panel of experts to establish
consensus indications for distal rectus femoris surgery in children with cerebral palsy (CP) …

Aim The iterative simulation studies proclaim that plantar flexor (PF) muscle weakness is
one of the contributors of stiff knee gait (SKG), although, whether isolated PF weakness …

Background: Rectus femoris transfer (RFT) is used to treat stiff knee gait in spastic cerebral
palsy. Recently, rectus femoris lengthening has been reported as treatment for stiff knee gait …

Background Although several studies have reported on the outcomes of rectus femoris
transfer (RFT), few have investigated the multiple factors that could affect the results …
