title: [Kinemetric and dynamometric analysis of the motor behavior of cerebral palsy children and its changes after intensive sports and exercise therapy].
abstract: Walking is one of those major everyday functions therapeutic efforts in disabled persons are aimed at, in order to maintain, or improve, their mobility. A six-months intensive sports and movement therapy programme for cerebral palsied children serves to set out the potential of comprehensive gait analysis in assessing treatment effectiveness, and to present pertinent parameters for assessment. Following therapy, positive modifications of the gait pattern were found using a variety of kinematic and dynamic indicators. Moreover discussed and dealt with in some depth are the gait analysis requirements in view of assessing treatment programme effectiveness as well as comprehensive documentation of individual gait patterns. Along with the kinemetric procedures, it is in particular the dynamometric measuring methods which are outstanding in these respects, as they demonstrate very great exactness of measurement and register numerous parameters at the same time, with the data being available relatively rapidly.
