“…In this study, only walking surface influenced these variables, wherein all of them decreased when the children walked on the treadmill. This result is accordance with previous investigations that compared walking on both surfaces (25,(30)(31)(32), and it can be attributed mainly to more instability provided by the treadmill, which is not the surface that these children usually walk. Last, these children presented similar cadence on both walking surfaces, independently of body weight unloading.…”

“…It is important to note that these differences are not due to mean walking speed, which was similar among experimental conditions, but rather to manipulation of walking surface and body weight unloading on lower limbs. Previous studies investigated the use of BWS system in different surfaces (9,25,27,28), however, the system used in the present study was different from the previous one concerning children with CP (25), and allowed to control the children's walking speed.…”

“…Although these results indicate that context demand might influence walking performance, mainly in terms of walking surface, it is important to note that the evaluated children were independent walkers. Based upon this first investigation (25), it was possible to note that children with hemiplegic CP are able to walk with BWS over ground and on treadmill. Next step would be to investigate if children with greater locomotion impairment could be able of walking with a BWS system on both walking surfaces and how they would react to each body weight unloading.…”

Introduction Partial body weight support (BWS) systems have been employed for gait training of children with cerebral palsy (CP). Therefore, it would be important to analyze if the type of walking surface and the amount of body weight unloading over lower limbs change the way these children walk. Objectives Investigate the influence of walking surface and amount of body weight unloading on the spatial temporal characteristics during walking of children with CP. Materials and methods Seven children with spastic CP between four and eight years old and GMFCS (Gross Motor Function Classification System) between I and IV, were videotaped walking with 0%, 15% and 30% of BWS on both dynamic (treadmill) and static (ground level) surfaces. Walking spatial temporal variables were calculated. Results Children walked with similar velocity in all experimental conditions. While stance duration decreased as the percentage of BWS increased, no differences were found for stance and swing periods and cadence. Children walked with longer steps and strides and with faster strides on static surface compared to dynamic surface. Conclusion Children with CP presenting different levels of motor impairment presented some alterations in the spatial temporal walking parameters as they walked with body unloading. However, such alterations might be due mainly to the type of walking surface than the percentage of body weight unloading on lower limbs.

“…and T37, according to IPC classification manual. IPC is pioneer in using functional assessment in sports, since clinical assessments as Gross Motor Function Classification System were more commonly used in the past (Dini & David, 2009;Kwon et al, 2011;Matsuno et al, 2010;Prosser et al, 2010;Zonta et al, 2010) .…”

Normal gait patterns allow the identification of the normal movement pattern, such as the gait of people with cerebral palsy. Paralympic classification systems aim to include the participation in sports of people with cerebral palsy, minimizing the impact of the injury on the result of the competition. In this context, this study aims to investigate, functionally, the linear and angular kinetic parameters of gait in individuals with cerebral palsy. 15 participants with cerebral palsy were classified into three groups according to the classification of the International Paralympic Committee: 1) T35- diplegic; 2) T36- athetoid ataxic; 3) T37- hemiplegic. For data acquisition, we used a motion capture system in 3 dimensions. The results showed significant differences between the three groups in some linear and angular gait variables, corroborating the qualitative classification process already used by the International Paralympics Committee. In addition, we identified the existence of people with different levels of cerebral palsy within a single functional class of International Paralympics Committee. We found significant differences in some linear and angular gait variables among the classes T35, T36 e T37, which suggest "subgroups" inside each category, and this would prevent a athlete from competing on equal terms with the other competitors.
