Cover Story: The most common abnormality of gait in ambulant children with cerebral palsy is toe walking, also known as equinus gait. Surgical management is effective in correcting the stance phase of gait, permitting the foot to be placed flat on the ground. However, the effects on swing phase, when the foot is moving through space, are not well understood. Poor swing phase function can cause foot drop gait, tripping, and falling, due to reduced function of the ankle dorsiflexor muscles. This study reviews the literature on ankle dorsiflexor function after surgery for equinus deformity. View this paper
