Changes in popliteal angle measurement in infants up to one year of age / Elaine READE in Developmental Medicine & Child Neurology, 26-6 (December 1994)

Public ISBD [article]  inDevelopmental Medicine & Child Neurology > 26-6 (December 1994) . - p.774-780 Titre : Changes in popliteal angle measurement in infants up to one year of age Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Elaine READE, Auteur ; Ann HALLUM, Auteur ; Leslie HOM, Auteur ; Rosalie LOPOPOLO, Auteur Année de publication : 1984 Article en page(s) : p.774-780 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : The purpose of this study was to determine trends in the changes of the popliteal angle in 130 normal infants between one day and 12 months of age, for use in assessing infants with possible neuromuscular pathology. Using a 360 degree goniometer, the popliteal angle was measured with the hip held at 90 degree flexion, to indicate hamstring-muscle tightness. Limitation of knee extension was also measured with the hip extended (HEKE angle) to indicate capsular tightness. Both the popliteal and HEKE angle measurements showed greatest limitation of knee extension at birth, which decreased until eight months of age, when most infants showed no limitation. A highly significant negative correlation was found between age and mean popliteal and HEKE angles.

Development of the lateral equilibrium reaction in stance / Heidi PERHAM in Developmental Medicine & Child Neurology, 29-6 (December 1987)

Public ISBD [article]  inDevelopmental Medicine & Child Neurology > 29-6 (December 1987) . - p.758-765 Titre : Development of the lateral equilibrium reaction in stance Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Heidi PERHAM, Auteur ; Ann HALLUM, Auteur ; Janet E. SMICK, Auteur ; Terry NORDSTROM, Auteur Année de publication : 1987 Article en page(s) : p.758-765 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : The lateral equilibrium reaction in stance was assessed in 80 normally developing children aged from nine months to five years. A scoring system and checklist were devised to describe the character and presence of the reaction. The earliest non-functional response was seen at nine months of age, and no functional response was observed to both sides until after two years of age. A progressive increase in functional response to both directions of tilt occurred between 12 and 18 months, with an unexpected drop at 21 and 24 months. All three-year-old and five-year-old children demonstrated a functional response to both sides. The lower extremity pattern was the most consistent component observed in those with a functional response. Individual variations in movements of the trunk, upper extremities and head excluded any indication of developmental patterns for these body segments. The clinical implications of these results are discussed.

Normal ranges of hip motion of infants between nine and 24 months of age / Elizabeth PHELPS in Developmental Medicine & Child Neurology, 27-6 (December 1985)

Public ISBD [article]  inDevelopmental Medicine & Child Neurology > 27-6 (December 1985) . - p.785-792 Titre : Normal ranges of hip motion of infants between nine and 24 months of age Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Elizabeth PHELPS, Auteur ; Ann HALLUM, Auteur ; Laura Jo SMITH, Auteur Année de publication : 1985 Article en page(s) : p.785-792 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : The means and standard deviations were obtained for hip extension limitation, internal rotation, external rotation and abduction at nine, 12, 18 and 24 months of age from a sample of 86 normal, healthy children. Statistically significant changes were found for three of the four motions tested. Hip extension limitation decreased from 10 degrees at nine months to 3 degrees at 24 months. At nine months external rotation was greater than internal rotation in all cases, but with increasing age the mean values for the two motions began to approximate each other. There was a statistically significant positive correlation between infants with the greatest hip extension limitation and the degree of external rotation. There was also a significant negative correlation between the least hip extension limitation and greater abduction.

Physicians'and physical therapists'evaluations of cerebral-palsied children for Achilles tendon lengthening / Anne FONTENROSE in Developmental Medicine & Child Neurology, 26-2 (April 1984)

Public ISBD [article]  inDevelopmental Medicine & Child Neurology > 26-2 (April 1984) . - p.208-213 Titre : Physicians'and physical therapists'evaluations of cerebral-palsied children for Achilles tendon lengthening Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Anne FONTENROSE, Auteur ; Julie MILLER, Auteur ; Ann HALLUM, Auteur Année de publication : 1984 Article en page(s) : p.208-213 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Ten orthopedic surgeons and 10 physical therapists working with spastic cerebral-palsied children were interviewed about the evaluation process they used to assess surgical lengthening of the achilles tendon. Objective and subjective considerations were described and wide variations in responses were found. No single evaluation criterion or subjective factor was mentioned by the majority of either group. In addition, the extent of interprofessional collaboration in presurgical assessment was described. Those respondents who consulted with other health professionals closely agreed about the purpose of the consultation. It is concluded clinicians need to identify more precisely the essential components of the evaluation process for this type of surgery.
