From: Comparison of the forward and sideways locomotor patterns in children with Cerebral Palsy
Vertical hip joint and foot displacements during SW and FW. (A) Time course of vertical hip displacements (GTz, normalized by the limb length L and averaged across right and left legs) averaged across subjects (mean ± SD, left panels) and correlation with the ensemble-averaged data for TD children (right panel). Horizontal lines denote significant differences (one-way ANOVA with Tukey’s HSD, p < 0.05). (B) Left: examples of superimposed foot (5MT marker) trajectories of the leading and trailing limbs during SW in 1 TD child (7.2 years), 1 HE child (4.9 years) and 1 DI child (6.1 years); right: vertical foot (5MT) excursion (mean + SD) of the leading and trailing limbs for sideways and forward walking, expressed in relative units. Horizontal line denotes significant differences between limbs (RM ANOVA with Tukey’s HSD, p < 0.05). The data for HE children was presented separately for the least affected (LA) and most affected (MA) limbs.
