Outcomes of Orthopaedic Surgery Using Gait Laboratory Versus Observational Gait Analysis in Children With Cerebral Palsy

NCT00419432 · Status: UNKNOWN · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 60

Last updated 2021-02-10

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The purpose of this pilot trial is to determine whether the addition of gait laboratory analysis for surgical decision making, compared with the use of observational analysis alone, results in improved functional outcomes in ambulatory children with cerebral palsy undergoing multi-level lower extremity orthopaedic surgery.

Conditions

  • Cerebral Palsy

Interventions

OTHER

Routine Observational Analysis (prior to procedure)

Controls will undergo the standard orthopaedic surgery using the information from the physical examination and observational analysis of the gait alone.

OTHER

Routine Observational analysis supplemented with Gait Lab Information (prior to procedure)

This experimental group will undergo standard orthopaedic surgery using the information from the physical examination, observational AND the gait laboratory analysis data
