RESUMO
Sixteen children with diplegic type of cerebral palsy and spastic internal rotation gait were evaluated using gait analysis before and an average of 3 years after multiple soft tissue surgery. Significant correction of the internal rotation gait was observed after multi-level soft tissue surgery which included medial hamstring lengthening in all cases. Our results suggest that for children with spastic internal rotation gait, multi-level soft tissue surgery effectively corrects the dynamic internal rotation gait in the absence of fixed bony rotational deformities.
