dc.description.abstractThe equinus ankle is one of the most treated conditions of the ankle and foot. Previous studies have investigated the lower limbs in children with either the diplegic (D-Group) or hemiplegic subtypes (H-Group) of cerebral palsy (CP). Children presenting with diplegia have been reported to have crouched knees (knee in flexion deformity) and an equinovalgus, while children with hemiplegia tend to have genu recurvatum (over extended knees), ankle equinovarus and a shorter affected limb (AL) than the unaffected limb (UL). No study has specifically compared the impairments related to the equinus ankle between the subtypes of CP. In addition, treatment outcomes for the management of the equinus ankle have not been satisfactory documented and there may be crucial differences in the parameters related to the equinus ankle between the D-Group and the H-Group.en_ZA
