Gait function on inclined surfaces of children with spastic bilateral cerebral palsy - A focus on temporo-spacial parameters and foot positioning at initial contact

摘要

Children with cerebral palsy (CP) experience difficulties when climbing stairs or walking on uneven [1] or inclined surfaces. Yet, studies about functions and mechanisms of walking on inclined grounds are scarce. Children with CP use similar, but pronounced postural adaptations to sloped surfaces compared to children with typical development (TD) [2].
