Recurvatum gait

Clinical photograph
Fig 1. Clinical photographtop left
•Midstance
•Knee recurvatum
•Ankle in plantarflexion
•Hip in flexion (move CG anterior to balance GRF)
•Contralateral crouch (pelvic obliquity)
•Causes
•Contracture of triceps surae
•<6yo/ spasticity
•Botox
•Stretching
•Solid AFO
•Contracture + >6yo → silverskiold
•Gastroc only → gastroc recession
•Gastroc + soleus → ETA
•Refer slide 108
•Strayer → gastroc release from soleus proximal to conjoint tendon → 1cm
•Vulpius → chevron at MST junction → 1.5 cm
•Baker → central fascial tongue
•(PETA = Percutaneus elongation of the Achilles tendon)
•White PETA → 1 med 1 lat → 2-4cm
•Hoker PETA → 2 med 1 lat → 4cm
