The assessment of selective motor control in children with neurodevelopmental motor disorders Ghent University
Gait impairments affect children with brain abnormalities across the severity spectrum, from mild (developmental coordination disorder-DCD) to more severe (cerebral palsy-CP). In CP, decreased selective motor control (SMC) during gait results in simplistic, or more synergistic, movement patterns. Such patterns are also seen in typically developing (TD) toddlers, but where normally the gait pattern matures, in children with CP, the primitive ...
