Physical Examination
for CP Patients
In order to ensure the best orthotic treatment of patients with cerebral palsy, a standardised basis for the evaluation of gait is necessary. The Amsterdam Gait Classification helps to classify CP patients and divides them into five gait types. It evaluates knee position and foot contact in mid stance. The patient classification is an essential factor for the medical patient history for CP patients.
According to the "Concept for the Orthotic Treatment of the Lower Extremity in Cerebral Palsy " we provide an Orthotic Treatment Sheet which was specifically designed for CP patients. You will find detailed information about the concept in our CP Guide.
