Long-term muscle changes after hamstring lengthening in children with bilateral cerebral palsy.

Abstract:

AIM:To evaluate short-term (1y postoperatively; E1) and long-term (at least 4y postoperatively; E2) changes in hamstring muscle-tendon length (MTL) and lengthening velocity after hamstring lengthening in children with bilateral cerebral palsy (CP). METHOD:Three-dimensional gait analysis was performed in 19 children (16 males, 3 females; 36 limbs; mean age at surgery 9y [SD 3y]; range 6-10y) with flexed knee gait, preoperative ankle dorsiflexion lower than 20 degrees, and CP before bilateral hamstring lengthening (E0), at E1 and E2. Hamstring MTL (normalized by leg length) and velocity were assessed via OpenSim software. RESULTS:MTL increased from E0 to E1 (p=0.004) and decreased from E1 to E2 (p<0.020). Hamstring lengthening velocity did not change. In the subgroup with short, not slow hamstrings, the increase in MTL was maintained at E2. INTERPRETATION:Hamstring lengthening is an efficient procedure to lengthen short and/or slow hamstrings short-term. The desired outcome with maintenance of the postoperative changes in hamstring MTL is only achieved for preoperatively short, not slow hamstrings. WHAT THIS PAPER ADDS:Surgical hamstring lengthening can be confirmed via musculoskeletal modelling in OpenSim software. Surgical hamstring lengthening in cerebral palsy does not change hamstring lengthening velocity. Short, not slow hamstrings present a long-lasting muscle-tendon length (MTL) increase after hamstring lengthening. Changes in MTL after hamstring lengthening cannot be maintained for slow hamstrings. MTL does not change after hamstring lengthening for neither short nor slow hamstrings. :CAMBIOS MUSCULARES A LARGO PLAZO DESPUÉS DEL ALARGAMIENTO DE LOS ISQUIOTIBIALES EN NIÑOS CON PARÁLISIS CEREBRAL BILATERAL: OBJETIVO: Evaluar los cambios a corto plazo (un año después de la operación; E1) y a largo plazo (al menos cuatro años después de la operación; E2) de la longitud del tendón muscular de los isquiotibiales (LT) y la velocidad de alargamiento después del estiramiento en niños con parálisis cerebral bilateral (PC). MÉTODO: Se realizó un análisis tridimensional de la marcha en 19 niños (16 varones, tres mujeres; 36 extremidades; edad media en la cirugía 9 años [DS 3 años]; rango 6-10 años) con la marcha en flexión de la rodilla, dorsiflexión preoperatoria del tobillo inferior a 20 grados, antes del alargamiento bilateral de los isquiotibiales (E0), en E1 y E2. El LT de los músculos isquiotibiales (normalizado por la longitud de la pierna) y la velocidad fueron evaluadas mediante el OpenSim. RESULTADOS: El LT aumentó de E0 a E1 (p = 0,004) y disminuyó de E1 a E2 (p<0,020). La velocidad de alargamiento de los isquiotibiales no cambió. En el subgrupo con isquiotibiales cortos, pero no lentos, el aumento de la LT se mantuvo en E2. INTERPRETACIÓN: El alargamiento de los isquiotibiales es un procedimiento eficiente para los isquiotibiales cortos y/o lentos a corto plazo. El resultado deseado con el mantenimiento de los cambios postoperatorios en la longitud de los isquiotibiales solo se logra para los isquiotibiales cortos no lentos antes de la operación. :ALTERAÇÕES MUSCULARES A LONGO PRAZO APÓS ALONGAMENTO DE ISQUIOTIBIAIS EM CRIANÇAS COM PARALISIA CEREBRAL BILATERAL: OBJETIVO: Avaliar a curto (um ano de pós-operatório; E1) e longo prazo (no mínimo quatro anos de pós-operatório; E2) alterações no comprimento do tendão do músculo (CTM) isquiotibial e a velocidade de estiramento após alongamento do isquiotibial em crianças com paralisia cerebral bilateral (PC). MÉTODO: Foi realizada a análise tridimensional da marcha em 19 crianças (16 meninos, três meninas; 36 membros; média de idade de cirurgia de 9 anos [DP 3 anos]; variação de 6-10 anos) com marcha com flexão de joelho, ângulo de dorsiflexão de tornozelo menor que 20o no pré-operatório, e PC antes do alongamento bilateral dos isquiotibiais (E0), em E1 e E2. CTM dos isquiotibiais (normalizado pelo comprimento da perna) e a velocidade foram avaliados pelo OpenSim. RESULTADOS: CTM aumentou de E0 para E1 (p=0,004) e diminuiu de E1 para E2 (p<0,020). A velocidade de estiramento do isquiotibial não mudou. No subgrupo com isquiotibial encurtado e não lento, o aumento no CTM foi mantido em E2. INTERPRETAÇÃO: O alongamento do músculo isquiotibial é um procedimento eficiente para alongar isquitotibiais encurtados e/ou lentos a curto prazo. O resultado desejado com a manutenção das alterações no pós-operatório no CTM do isquiotibial é atingida somente para isquiotibial curto e não lento no pré-operatório.
