Comparison of Femoral Torsion and Tibial Torsion in Spastic Diplegics and Spastic Quadriplegics
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2017, Vol 16, Issue 6
Abstract
95 children with cerebral palsy of varying age groups were examined clinically for their lower limb torsion. All the children come under two different types of cerebral palsy with spasticity. Femoral and tibial torsion were assessed individually, as they can alter the gait pattern in these children. In our study the femoral and tibial torsions were assessed clinically by assessing the femoral in-torsion and out-torsion, the trans malleolar axis and the thigh foot axis. These lower limb torsions vary within the two groups in this study, between limbs of the same individual and between different age groups. It is important to know the normal variations for better management and prognosis.
