Abstract

Background: Children with spastic cerebral palsy develop changing gait disorders as neural impairment interacts with muscle growth, tissue stiffness and skeletal geometry. Isolated joint findings may poorly identify the primary mechanical restriction. Objective: To synthesize the muscle biology and gait biomechanics that inform
