Relationship between rotational gait parameters and torsional bony deformities in patients with diplegic cerebral palsy Ki Hyuk Sung, MD Seoul National University Bundang Hospital
Introduction • Intoeing gait is a common gait problem in patients with diplegic CP, which affects gait efficacy and cosmesis. • Femoral anteversion and tibial torsion are usually focuses of attention in evaluation and treatment.
Introduction • However, there might be other structural problem affecting rotational gait parameters. • In some clinical situation, degree of femoral anteversion and tibial torsion do not necessarily reflect the severity of the rotational gait problems.
Purpose of the study • To investigate comprehensively relationships between rotational gait parameters and torsional bony alignment, including different deformity types, in patients with diplegic CP
Materials and Methods • Retrospective design • Inclusion • Ambulatory patients with diplegic CP • 3D gait analysis • Torsional CT
3D gait parameters • Mean foot progression angle in stance • Mean hip rotation • Mean tibia rotation • Mean pelvic rotation • Adjusted foot progression angle • Foot progression angle – pelvic rotation
Radiographic measurements • Acetabular version on CT • Femoral anteversion on CT • Tibial torsion on CT • Knee torsion on CT • AP talo-1st metatarsal angle on weightbearing AP foot radiographs
Reliability of radiographic measurement • 2 orthopaedic surgeons, 15 patients • ICC (intraclass correlation coefficient) & MAD (mean absolute difference)
Relation btw radiographic measurements & gait parameters • Pearson’s correlation coefficient
Multiple regression anlysis • Structural torsional deformities (CT and radiographic measurements) significantly contributing to adjusted foot progression angle
Conclusions • Adjusted foot pregression angle was more relevant than foot progression angle. • Femoral anteversion and tibial torsion were found to be the significant structural deformities that affect adjusted foot progression angle
Conclusions • However, femoral anteversion and tibial torsion were found to explain only 24.7% of adjusted foot progression angle • Other structural factors or muscle balance need to be considered.
