An observational study in Cerebral Palsy and Diplegia, Spastic, sponsored by University of Modena and Reggio Emilia. Completed at 1 site in Italy. Open to participants aged 12 Years to 17 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2014-06-27.

In recent years Ferrari et al. proposed a new classification of gait in diplegic children with spastic diplegia that describes four different patterns of gait by analyzing the strategies that each children adopts to need his/her needs to walk. The investigators believe that this classification provides the clinician with clinically meaningful information in terms of coping strategies adopted to maximize the ability to walk.
The aim of this study is to determine the criterion validity of the new classification of the pattern of gait in children with spastic diplegia by correlating pattern of diplegic gait with the score of the Functional performance measure.
1,891 studies on the registry are indexed under Cerebral Palsy; 439 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 86 is above the median of 63 across 465 observational studies indexed under Cerebral Palsy.
