Inappropriate activity of M. rectus femoris (RF) during swing is believed to contribute to stiff
knee gait in cerebral palsy. This study used musculoskeletal modeling techniques to …

Stiff-knee gait is characterized by diminished and delayed knee flexion during swing. Rectus
femoris transfer surgery, a common treatment for stiff-knee gait, is often recommended when …

Prolonged swing phase rectus femoris (RF) activity has been implicated as a cause of stiff-
knee gait (SKG) in children with cerebral palsy (CP) and continues to be cited as an …

Quantitative comparison of gait strategy between stiff knee gait caused by rectus femoris
spasticity versus that caused by femoral anteversion was the objective of this study. Twenty …

This study investigated the effects of spasticity in the hamstrings and quadriceps muscles on
gait parameters including temporal spatial measures, knee position, excursion and angular …

Inadequate peak knee extension during the swing phase of gait is a major deficit in
individuals with spastic cerebral palsy (CP). The biomechanical mechanisms responsible for …

The diminished knee flexion associated with stiff-knee gait, a movement abnormality
commonly observed in persons with cerebral palsy, is thought to be caused by an over …

Purpose To evaluate the effects of rectus femoris intramuscular lengthening, a novel
procedure to treat stiff-knee gait in ambulatory patients with cerebral palsy, using …

Stiff-knee gait is a movement abnormality in which knee flexion during swing phase is
significantly diminished. This study investigates the relationships between knee flexion …

Background: Rectus femoris transfer (RFT) is used to treat stiff knee gait in spastic cerebral
palsy. Recently, rectus femoris lengthening has been reported as treatment for stiff knee gait …
