Estimating the contribution of musculoskeletal impairments to altered gait kinematics in children with cerebral palsy using predictive simulations
Our results suggest an important contribution of motor control and unmodeled musculoskeletal impairments (e.g. shank and foot deformities) to alterations in the gait pattern. Model-based simulations are a promising tool to determine the contribution of musculoskeletal impairments to alterations in gait kinematics in individuals with CP.
