Clinical functional outcome measures for children with cerebral palsy after gait corrective orthopaedic surgery: A scoping review.

Aim: To identify the most frequently reported non-instrumented measures of gait, activity, and participation in children with cerebral palsy (CP) after undergoing gait corrective orthopaedic surgery.

Method: Four databases were searched from database inception to the 9th December 2021 for studies that evaluated functional outcomes for children with CP under 18 years undergoing gait corrective orthopaedic surgery.

Results: Of 547 citations, 44 publications (n = 3535 participants, n = 1789 males, mean age 10 years 5 months [SD = 3 years 3 months], Gross Motor Function Classification System levels I-III at the time of surgery) were eligible for inclusion.
