Abstract

This study aims at assessing the relationship between hamstring length, gross motor function, and gait in children with spastic cerebral palsy (CP). Children and adolescents aged between 6 and 18 years, were classified as levels I, II or III according to the Gross Motor Function Classification System. Participants were assessed using a modified Tardieu Scale to determine hamstring length, evaluating: R1 (first leg extension resistance), R2 (second leg extension resistance) and R2-R1 (difference between R1 and R2) of the left and right lower limbs. The Gross Motor Function Measure (GMFM) was used to evaluate gross motor function and the modified Physicians Rating Scale (PRS) for gait. Twenty-three participants were included in the study and the results showed a moderate correlation between R1, R2, and PRS of the left leg and the GMFM. All other variables exhibited a weak correlation. Hamstring length was weakly to moderately related to gross motor function and gait in children and adolescents with CP.
