GAIT POSTURE , 2009, vol. 29, n° 1, p. 36-41 Doc n°: 140693 Localisation : Documentation IRR Descripteurs : DF22 - EXPLORATION EXAMENS BILANS - MARCHE, AB311 - MYOPATHIE DE DUCHENNE DE BOULOGNE We investigated the gait pattern of 21 patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), compared to 10 healthy controls through 3D Gait Analysis. An overall observation of gait pattern in our DMD patients when compared to controls confirmed the data previously reported for small dystrophic groups. An excessive anterior tilt of pelvis and abnormal knee pattern in loading response phase were found. Since during the swing phase the DMD foot is too plantarflexed, patients adopt a higher flexion and abduction of the hip in order to advance the swinging limb. Langue : ANGLAIS |
