Brief Summary:
Children with cerebral palsy (CP) often develop gait abnormalities, with crouch gait being a common and challenging issue that affects their posture and daily function. Numerous studies indicate that crouch gait is primarily caused by hamstring tightness and quadriceps weakness. Traditional treatment approaches focus on hamstring stretching and quadriceps strengthening exercises to improve gait patterns. highlight the importance of strengthening muscles like the quadriceps and stretching tight muscles such as the hamstrings in improving gait abnormalities source.
Despite these common treatments, results often fall short of achieving full correction of crouch gait. Therefore, I propose a novel approach to treating abnormal gait in children with CP by targeting the anterior pelvic tilt and strengthening the soleus muscle. This approach aims to address biomechanical factors that are not typically considered in traditional treatments, potentially leading to better functional outcomes
we use Surface EMG to record activity of key muscle (soleus) during Seated Calf Raises exercise Muscle activity will be recorded before and after a series of physical therapy sessions focused on pelvic alignment and soleus strengthening.
EMG Data Analysis: Root Mean Square (RMS), timing of activation, and amplitude changes will be assessed.
