Aim

The aim of the study was to characterise gait in patients with achondroplasia post lengthening.

Patients/Materials and Methods

Full kinematic and kinetic lower limb gait analysis was performed at the Sheffield Children's Hospital gait laboratory, Sheffield, using a Vicon system (6 cameras working at 50Hz) and processed using Plug In Gait modelling software. The lengthened Achondroplasia group (n=11, mean age = 24.5 ± 6.1) had previously undergone surgical lengthening of the legs. The lengthened Achondroplasia group was compared to a control group of 11 adult normal subjects.
