Abstract

ABSTRACT Cerebral palsy (CP), a leading cause of childhood disability, results from non-progressive brain lesions that impair movement and posture, leading to activity limitation. Key features include muscular contraction, spasticity, hyperreflexia, motor control deficits, balance impairment, and muscular weakness. The most common type of CP is spastic diplegia. Children affected by it typically struggle with motor control, spasticity, and balance, causing abnormalities in their gait. The femoral anteversion (FA) angle, which quantifies femoral neck rotation relative to the shaft, normally decreases from 30° to 15° during normal skeletal maturation. In contrast, CP children typically maintain a slightly elevated FA angle throughout their development.
