“…3 Now, the thoracolumbar fascia (TLF) is the interface that connects the lower limb with the upper limb contralateral, giving an important role in walking, 4 breathing, 5 stabilization of the spine 5,6 and load transfer. [7][8][9][10][11] However, studies that have reviewed the characteristics of TLF in children with hemiparesis are non-existent.…”

To describe the structural characteristics of TLF in children with hemiparesis. MethodologyUltrasound was taken of the TLFs from both the apparently healthy and the affected side in 2 children (as), aged 8 and 10 years old, through the Philips iU22 device with a linear transducer located at 2 cm from the spinous process L2. Two variables were analyzed: thickness and echogenicity of the fascia. The study was approved by the ethics committee of the Faculty of Medicine of the National University of Colombia. ResultsA variation in the thickness of the TLF of 67.96% and 34.32% was observed in the hemibodies of the participants, speaking of a possible fibrosis comparing the hemibodies, which may suggest a cause or consequence of the use or disuse of the same. 12 Likewise, there is a variation in the loose connective tissue, with a tendency to densify the TLF in two of the four intakes, which means a lower slippage of the fascial layers. 13 The echogenicity of the TLF showed a hyperechoic layer generating between homogeneous and heterogeneous ecotextures, which could correspond to infiltrations of the loose or adipose connective tissue in the TLF. 14 Thoracolumbar fascia in children with hemiparesis: analysis of two cases Volume 4 Issue 5 -2019
