Gait analysis in children with cerebral palsy: bridging the gap between the laboratory and real life

Lena Carcreff

Like 17 million people worldwide, an individual with cerebral palsy (CP) does not have the opportunity to walk harmoniously in society due to long-life impairments in movement and posture. The natural course of CP can be modulated by treatments and therapi ...

Walking Speed of Children and Adolescents With Cerebral Palsy: Laboratory Versus Daily Life

Kamiar Aminian, Anisoara Ionescu, Lena Carcreff, Stéphane Armand

The purpose of this pilot study was to compare walking speed, an important component of gait, in the laboratory and daily life, in young individuals with cerebral palsy (CP) and with typical development (TD), and to quantify to what extent gait observed in ...

Multidimensional Measures of Physical Activity and Their Association with Gross Motor Capacity in Children and Adolescents with Cerebral Palsy

Anisoara Ionescu, Lena Carcreff, Stéphane Armand

The current lack of adapted performance metrics leads clinicians to focus on what children with cerebral palsy (CP) do in a clinical setting, despite the ongoing debate on whether capacity (what they do at best) adequately reflects performance (what they d ...

Comparison of gait characteristics between clinical and daily life settings in children with cerebral palsy

Kamiar Aminian, Anisoara Ionescu, Lena Carcreff, Stéphane Armand

Gait assessments in standardized settings, as part of the clinical follow-up of children with cerebral palsy (CP), may not represent gait in daily life. This study aimed at comparing gait characteristics in laboratory and real life settings on the basis of ...

A Personalized Approach to Improve Walking Detection in Real-Life Settings: Application to Children with Cerebral Palsy

Kamiar Aminian, Anisoara Ionescu, Lena Carcreff, Stéphane Armand

Although many methods have been developed to detect walking by using body-worn inertial sensors, their performances decline when gait patterns become abnormal, as seen in children with cerebral palsy (CP). The aim of this study was to evaluate if fine-tuni ...

Locomotion and cadence detection using a single trunk-fixed accelerometer: validity for children with cerebral palsy in daily life-like conditions

Kamiar Aminian, Anisoara Ionescu, Lena Carcreff, Stéphane Armand

BACKGROUND: Physical therapy interventions for ambulatory youth with cerebral palsy (CP) often focus on activity-based strategies to promote functional mobility and participation in physical activity. The use of activity monitors validated for this populat ...

The effects of dual tasks on gait in children with cerebral palsy

Kamiar Aminian, Lena Carcreff, Stéphane Armand

Aim: To assess the gait and cognitive performances of children with cerebral palsy (CP) during dual tasks (DT) in comparison to typically developing (TD) children. Method: This prospective, observational, case-control study included 18 children with CP (7 ...

Locomotion and cadence detection using a single trunk-fixed accelerometer: validity for children with cerebral palsy in daily life-like conditions (vol 16, pg 24, 2019)

Kamiar Aminian, Anisoara Ionescu, Lena Carcreff, Stéphane Armand

The original article [1] contained a minor error whereby the middle initial of Christopher J. Newman's name was mistakenly omitted. ...
