Lower-extremity selective voluntary motor control in patients with spastic cerebral palsy: increased distal motor impairment

摘要

Multiple impairments contribute to motor deficits in spastic cerebral palsy (CP). Selective voluntary motor control (SVMC), namely isolation of joint movement upon request, is important, but frequently overlooked. This study evaluated the proximal to distal distribution of SVMC impairment among lower extremity joints.
