Comparative Effects of Multilevel Muscle Tendon Surgery, Osteotomies, and Dorsal Rhizotomy on Functional and Gait Outcome Measures for Children With Cerebral Palsy

Objective To compare the impact of common surgical interventions (selective dorsal rhizotomy, muscle‐tendon surgery, and osteotomies) for patients with cerebral palsy (CP) on Gross Motor Function Measure and temporal, kinematic, and kinetic gait variables as assessed via 3‐dimensional motion analysis. Design Retrospective cohort study. Setting Motion analyses laboratory. Participants Ninety‐four patients with CP, 56 of whom underwent surgery...
