Assessing Gross Motor and Gait Function Using Hip–Knee Cyclograms in Ambulatory Children with Spastic Cerebral Palsy by Jehyun Yoo, Juntaek Hong, Jeuhee Lee, Yebin Cho, Taekyung Lee, Dong-wook Rha

“…Weakness, spasticity, and muscle shortening are common in children with cerebral palsy (CP), leading to deficits in gross motor, gait, and selective motor functions. While traditional assessments, such as the Gross Motor Function Measure (GMFM-66), instrumented gait analysis, and the Selective Control Assessment of the Lower Extremity (SCALE), are widely used, they are often limited by the resource-intensive nature of hospital-based evaluations. …”
