Ankle and Foot in Cerebral Palsy

Ankle and foot deformities and gait abnormalities are common in cerebral palsy. Often, foot rebalancing and tendon transfers can restore a better gait pattern and help correct painful foot deformities.

Cerebral palsy is a movement disorder that can affect children, which mostly interferes the general coordination, movement and mobility. Patients who have cerebral palsy are most commonly witnessed to have deformities with their angle and foot. This results in several deformities.

Due to the foot and ankle deformities, it results in causing muscle imbalances which again can hamper the movement due to poor distribution of weight. Due to the anatomical deformities, it can also find the perfect fitting shoes for people. However, in moderate conditions, patients can experience pain and trip very easily.
