BackgroundInternal rotation gait constitutes a complex gait disorder in bilateral spastic cerebral palsy (BSCP) including static torsional and dynamic components resulting in lever arm dysfunction. Although femoral derotation osteotomy (FDO) is a standard procedure to correct increased femoral anteversion in children, unpredictable outcome has been reported. The effect of FDO when it is done as part of single-event multilevel surgery (SEMLS) in adulthood has not been investigated.MethodsIn this study mid-term data of 63 adults with BSCP and internal rotation gait, undergoing SEMLS including FDO were analyzed pre- and 1.7 years postoperatively by clinical examination and 3D-instrumented gait analysis. All legs were categorized as the more or less involved side to consider asymmetry. The mean hip rotation in stance preoperatively and the intraoperative derotation was correlated with the difference pre- and postoperatively.ResultsThe group as a whole experienced the following results postoperatively: improved mean hip rotation in stance (p=0.0001), mean foot progression angle (p=0.0001) and a significant improvement of the clinical parameter: passive internal and external hip rotation, midpoint and anteversion (p=0.0001) for both legs separately. With regard to the less and more involved side, clinical and kinematic parameters showed comparable significant changes (p=0.0001). The anteversion improved significantly in proximal compared to distal FDO (p=0.03).ConclusionThis study emphasizes an overall good correction of internal rotation gait in adults with bilateral involvement after FDO. However, the results are more predictable in adults compared to studies reporting outcome after FDO in children.

Despite the common knowledge about the individual character of human gait patterns and about their non-repeatability, little is known about their stability, their interactions and their changes over time. Variations of gait patterns are typically described as random deviations around a stable mean curve derived from groups, which appear due to noise or experimental insufficiencies. The purpose of this study is to examine the nature of intrinsic inter-session variability in more detail by proving separable characteristics of gait patterns between individuals as well as within individuals in repeated measurement sessions. Eight healthy subjects performed 15 gait trials at a self-selected speed on eight days within two weeks. For each trial, the time-continuous ground reaction forces and lower body kinematics were quantified. A total of 960 gait patterns were analysed by means of support vector machines and the coefficient of multiple correlation. The results emphasise the remarkable amount of individual characteristics in human gait. Support vector machines results showed an error-free assignment of gait patterns to the corresponding individual. Thus, differences in gait patterns between individuals seem to be persistent over two weeks. Within the range of individual gait patterns, day specific characteristics could be distinguished by classification rates of 97.3% and 59.5% for the eight-day classification of lower body joint angles and ground reaction forces, respectively. Hence, gait patterns can be assumed not to be constant over time and rather exhibit discernible daily changes within previously stated good repeatability. Advantages for more individual and situational diagnoses or therapy are identified.
