A fixed-ankle, below-the-knee orthosis for the management of genu recurvation in spastic cerebral palsy
RK Rosenthal, SD Deutsch, W Miller, W Schumann and JE Hall
A fixed-ankle, below-the-knee molded plastic splint designed to maintain
the ankle in 5 degrees of dorsiflexion and correct any foot deformity was
used on eighteen extremities of twelve children with spastic cerebral palsy
and genu recurvatum. After an average follow-up of twenty-six months, the
genu recurvatum was well controlled and gait was improved.
