Age related progression of clinical measures and gait in ambulant children and youth with bilateral cerebral palsy without a history of surgical intervention.

Background: Age related progression needs to be considered when assessing current status and treatment outcomes in cerebral palsy (CP).

Research Question: What is the association between age, gait kinematics and clinical measures in children with bilateral CP?

Method: A retrospective database review was conducted. Subjects with bilateral CP with baseline and follow-up 3D gait analyses, but no history of intervening surgery were identified.
