本研究旨在评估GMFCS I-III级双侧痉挛型脑性瘫痪儿童肌力与步行能力之间的关系。55名儿童（平均年龄10.7岁，范围5-15）进行了测试的肌肉力量在8个下肢肌肉群与手持肌计。他们还接受了站立和行走，跑步和跳跃的粗大运动功能测量领域的测试。大多数儿童的腿部肌肉力量低于标准预测值，踝关节周围的肌肉无力最明显，其次是臀部肌肉。GMFCS水平之间的肌肉力量有显着差异。肌肉力量和GMFM之间也存在中度到高度的相关性，表明肌肉无力影响步行能力。独立行走的儿童有超过50%的预测肌肉力量值。(C)2008 Elsevier B. V.保留所有权利。
The purpose of this study was to assess the relation between muscle strength and walking ability in children with bilateral spastic cerebral palsy at GMFCS levels I-III. 55 children (mean age 10.7, range 5-15) were tested for muscle strength in eight lower limb muscle groups with a handheld myometer. They were also tested with the Gross Motor Function Measure domains for standing and walking, running and jumping Muscle strength in the legs was below normative predicted value in most of the children, with muscle weakness most pronounced around the ankle, followed by the hip muscles. There was a significant difference in muscle strength between GMFCS levels. There was also a moderate to high correlation between muscle strength and the GMFM, indicating that muscle weakness affects walking ability. Independently walking children had more than 50% of predicted muscle strength values. (C) 2008 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
