Aim This study aims to achieve an international expert consensus on joint patterns during gait for children with cerebral palsy ( CP ) by means of Delphi surveys. Method In Stage 1, seven local experts drafted a preliminary proposal kinematic each lower limb in the sagittal, coronal, and transverse plane. 2, 13 from eight laboratories (four USA four Europe), participated study. Consensus was defined pre‐set cut‐off point 75% agreement among participants. Results After first stage, 44 were...
Experts recently identified 49 joint motion patterns in children with cerebral palsy during a Delphi consensus study. Pattern definitions were therefore the result of subjective expert opinion. The present study aims to provide objective, quantitative data supporting identification these consensus-based patterns. To do so, statistical parametric mapping was used compare mean kinematic waveforms 154 trials typically developing (n = 56) 1719 356), which classified following classification...
Aim The main goal of this validation study was to evaluate whether lower limb muscle weakness and plantar flexor rate force development (RFD) related altered gait parameters in children with cerebral palsy (CP), when assessed maximal voluntary isometric contractions (MVICs) a test position. As subgoal, we analyzed intra- intertester reliability new strength measurement method. Methods Part 1 –Intra- were determined the intra-class correlation coefficient (ICC2,1) 10 typical developing (TD)...
Aim This study aimed to quantify the inter‐ and intrarater clinician agreement on joint motion patterns in children with spastic cerebral palsy ( CP ), which were recently specified by a Delphi consensus study. It also examined whether experience three‐dimensional gait analysis (3 DGA ) is prerequisite for using patterns. Method The experimental group consisted of 82 patients (57 males, 25 females; uni‐/bilateral [ n =27/55]; Gross Motor Function Classification System levels I III; mean age...
This study aimed to improve the automatic probabilistic classification of joint motion gait patterns in children with cerebral palsy by using expert knowledge available via a recently developed Delphi-consensus study. To this end, applied both Naïve Bayes and Logistic Regression varying degrees usage (expert-defined discretized features). A database 356 patients 1719 trials was used validate performance eleven motions.Two main hypotheses stated that: (1) Joint CP, obtained through study, can...
During a Delphi consensus study, new joint gait classification system was developed for children with cerebral palsy (CP). This system, whose reliability and content validity have previously been established, identified 49 distinct patterns. The present study aims to provide first insight towards the construct clinical relevance of this system. retrospective sample convenience consisted 286 patients spastic CP (3-18 years old, GMFCS levels I-III, 166 bilateral CP). Kinematic kinetic trials...
