Abstract

HERNANDEZ-GOMEZ, Noé et al. Gait assessment and intervention in children with hip extension deficits, pilot study. Rev. sanid. mil. [online]. 2022, vol.76, n.4, e02.  Epub Feb 03, 2023. ISSN 0301-696X.  https://doi.org/10.56443/rsm.v76i4.216.

The lesions of the iliopsoas generate metabolic alterations and mechanical modifications, clinically related to pain, decreased flexibility, restriction of the optimal range of movement and gait. The objective is to present the effectiveness of stretching with different techniques on hip mobility, iliopsoas flexibility and biomechanical gait parameters in children with hip extension deficit. Four patients were evaluated and intervened, two of the male gender and two of the female gender, from 6 to 11 years old, at the Centro de Rehabilitación Infantil of the SEDENA. The assessment was with analysis of gait and movement, then they were given a stretching protocol for 10 sessions. All participants showed significant results in the time-space parameters of gait, demonstrating a higher quality in gait biomechanics.

Keywords : Flexibility; Biomechanics; Gait and Stretching.
