There is limited evidence about gait stability and its alteration by concurrent motor and cognitive tasks in children with cerebral palsy (CP). We examined gait stability and how it is altered by constrained cognitive or motor task in CP and their typically developed (TD) controls.
Gait kinematics were recorded using inertial-measurement units (IMU) from 18 patients with hemiplegia (13.5±2.4 years), 12 with diplegia (13.0±2.1 years), and 31 TD controls (13.5±2.2 years) during unconstrained gait, and motor (carrying a tray) and cognitive (word naming) task constrained gait at preferred speed (∼400 steps/task). Step duration, its standard deviation and refined-compound-multiscale entropy (RCME) were computed independently for vertical and resultant horizontal accelerations.
Gait complexity was higher for patients with CP than TD in all tasks and directions (p<0.001–0.01), being pronounced in vertical direction, cognitive task and for diplegic patients (p<0.05–0.001). The gait complexity increased more (i.e. higher dual-task cost) from the unconstrained to the constrained gait in CP compared to TD (p<0.05). Step duration was similar in all groups (p>0.586), but its variation was higher in CP than TD (p<0.001–0.05), and during the constrained than unconstrained gait in all groups (p<0.01–0.001).
The gait in children with CP was more complex and the dual-task cost was higher primarily for children with diplegic CP than TD during cognitive task, indicating that attentional load hinders their gait more. This raises the hypothesis that more attention and cortical resources are needed to compensate for the impaired gait in children with CP.

P 042 - Gait complexity quantified using inertial measurement units in children with cerebral palsy
Piitulainen, H.; Rantalainen, Timo; Kulmala, J. P.; Mäenpää, H. (Elsevier BV, 2018)Children with cerebral palsy (CP) have various gait impairments, and consequently their gait is less stable compared to typically developed (TD) controls. Gait kinematics are also affected more in CP than TD by concurrent ... -
A test of the effort equalization hypothesis in children with cerebral palsy who have an asymmetric gait
Kulmala, Juha-Pekka; Haakana, Piia; Nurminen, Jussi; Ylitalo, Elina; Niemelä, Tuula; Marttinen Rossi, Essi; Mäenpää, Helena; Piitulainen, Harri (Public Library of Science (PLoS), 2022)Healthy people can walk nearly effortlessly thanks to their instinctively adaptive gait patterns that tend to minimize metabolic energy consumption. However, the economy of gait is severely impaired in many neurological ... -

Michelsen, Josephine S.; Lund, Mai C.; Alkjær, Tine; Finni, Taija; Nielsen, Jens B.; Lorentzen, Jakob (Wiley-Blackwell, 2020)Aim To test whether wearable textile electromyography (EMG) recording systems may detect differences in muscle activity levels during daily activities between children with cerebral palsy (CP) and age‐matched typically ... -
Feasibility of markerless motion capture in clinical gait analysis in children with cerebral palsy
Mustafaoglu, Afet (2023)The main purpose of this study is to explore the feasibility of deep learning based markerless motion capture in clinical settings. This study compares the markerless motion capture (Blazepose) to the gold standard ... -
Stretch reflex threshold as a measure of spasticity of plantar flexor muscles before and after tailored strength training intervention in children and adolescents with cerebral palsy
Hosio, Sanna (2020)CP-vammaisilla lapsilla ja nuorilla on useita oireita. Liikkumisen kannalta yksi haittaavin ja invalidisoivin on spastisuus. Spastisuuden määritelmä on epäselvä ja sen vuoksi mittaamisen ja hoitojen valinnassa ei ole yhtä ...
