Posterior transfer of tibialis anterior in low-level myelodysplasia / John P. S. JANDA in Developmental Medicine & Child Neurology, 26-1 (February 1984)

Public ISBD [article]  inDevelopmental Medicine & Child Neurology > 26-1 (February 1984) . - p.100-103 Titre : Posterior transfer of tibialis anterior in low-level myelodysplasia Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : John P. S. JANDA, Auteur ; Patricia S. BARTO, Auteur ; Stephen R. SKINNER, Auteur Année de publication : 1984 Article en page(s) : p.100-103 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : A clinical and EMG evaluation was performed on six children with myelomeningocele who previously had undergone bilateral transfer of the tibialis anterior to the heel cord. While the operation was effective in eliminating the calcaneovarus foot deformity, the likelihood of producing a significant new deformity was great. Dynamic EMG studies indicated that the transferred muscle usually did not develop the desired phasic contraction during the stance phase of walking. Bracing requirements at the ankle were unaffected by the procedure. The authors conclude that this transfer is undesirable for children with myelomeningocele.
