The longitudinal growth of long bones occurs in growth plates where chondrocytes
synthesize cartilage that is subsequently ossified. Altered growth and subsequent deformity …

Cerebral palsy (CP) is the most common movement disorder in children. A diagnosis of CP
is often made based on abnormal muscle tone or posture, a delay in reaching motor …

Objective A cam-type deformity drastically increases the risk of hip osteoarthritis (OA). Since
this type of skeletal anomaly is more prevalent among young active adults, it is hypothesized …

Aim To understand the long‐term effects of comprehensive spasticity treatment, including
selective dorsal rhizotomy (SDR), on individuals with spastic cerebral palsy. Method This …

Little is known about the influence of mechanical loading on growth plate stresses and
femoral growth. A multi-scale workflow based on musculoskeletal simulations and …

Mechanical loading is a crucial factor in joint and bone development. Using a computational
model, we investigated the role of mechanics on cartilage growth rate, ossification of the …

Background: Children with spastic diplegic cerebral palsy (CP) exhibit abnormal walking
patterns and frequently develop lower limb, long bone deformities. It is important to …

Mechanical stimuli play a significant role in the process of endochondral growth. Thus far,
approaches to understand the endochondral mechanical growth rate have been limited to …

Background Many children with cerebral palsy (CP) develop skeletal deformities during
childhood. So far, it is unknown why some children with CP develop bony deformities …

Children with cerebral palsy (CP) walk with altered gait and frequently exhibit proximal
femoral deformities, such as anteversion and coxa valga. The objective of this research was …
