Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate untreated children with bilateral spastic cerebral palsy in Ethiopia to understand their natural gait patterns, as they had never been assessed before.
- Researchers assessed 46 children using detailed medical histories, examinations, and advanced motion capture technology to analyze their gait.
- Findings showed considerable variability in gait issues, with age not strongly affecting overall severity, though some aspects like hip and knee motion tended to decrease as children aged.
Article Synopsis
- In 2017, the British Society for Children's Orthopaedic Surgery conducted research prioritization processes involving professionals and stakeholders.
- * The prioritization has positively influenced funding, leading to increased attention and resources for children's orthopaedics.
- * This area, previously underfunded and under-investigated, is now experiencing significant growth in research and understanding.
Purpose: A common methodological limitation of research that guides surgical procedure selection for children's elective lower limb orthopaedic surgeries is inconsistent outcome selection. Improving outcome consistency can be achieved through the development of a core outcome set (COS). The aim of this study is to identify which outcomes are considered important for children's elective lower limb orthopaedic surgeries by allied health professionals (AHPs) and explore why they select these outcomes, to inform a COS development project.

This consensus can then be used to ensure consistent, safe care for children in UK hospitals and those elsewhere with similar healthcare systems.
Methods: A Delphi approach was used to determine consensus in three core aspects of care: 1) assessment, investigation, and diagnosis; 2) treatment; and 3) service, pathways, and networks.
