A flexed knee gait is common in patients with bilateral spastic
cerebral palsy and occurs with increased age. There is a risk for
the recurrence of a flexed knee gait when treated in childhood,
and the aim of this study was to investigate whether multilevel
procedures might also be undertaken in adulthood. At a mean of 22.9 months (standard deviation 12.9), after single
event multi level surgery, 3D gait analysis was undertaken pre-
and post-operatively for 37 adult patients with bilateral cerebral
palsy and a fixed knee gait.Aims
