“…There is abundant literature on the effect of the rectus femoris transfer in cerebral palsy were it is often part of single-event multi-level surgery. Most studies in cerebral palsy report an increase between 7°-11° in peak knee flexion 32,57,[178][179][180][181] . Some studies report an increase between 12° and 26° in peak knee flexion 30,139,182 .…”

ObjectiveTo determine the effect of Motor Branch Block (MBB) or Neuro Muscular Block (NMB) of the rectus femoris on knee kinematics during swing, functional outcome, and energy cost in adults with spastic paresis presenting a stiff knee gait. Data sourcesPubmed, Embase, Cinahl, and Cochrane library were searched. Studies were collected up to 26 February 2013. Reference lists were additionally scrutinized. Study selection No restrictions were applied regarding study design. Patients were adults suffering from a central neurological disorder. Interventions had to include MBB or NMB. Outcome measures should include knee kinematics during swing phase. Study selection was independently performed by two reviewers. Data extractionTwo reviewers independently assessed methodological quality of included studies. Data on kinematics, functional outcome, and energy cost from stroke patients were extracted from the total population and when possible pooled. Data synthesisIn total nine articles were included describing twelve different studies. Knee kinematics (peak knee flexion or knee range) during swing improved significantly in all included studies. The average increase in peak knee flexion varied from 1.9 to 15.4 degrees. Data pooling of peak knee flexion in stroke patients showed a significant improvement of 7.37 degrees (p=0.000) in the NMB studies and 9.35 degrees (p=0.002) in the MBB studies. Data pooling of knee velocity at toe off showed a significant improvement op 53.01 degrees/sec in the NMB studies. In the MBB studies this improvement was not significant. Data pooling of knee range of motion, functional outcomes, and energy cost showed no significant difference. ConclusionAccording to this review, chemodenervation of the rectus femoris shows a significant improvement on peak knee flexion during swing. The effect on functional outcomes and energy cost is still unclear.19 Systematic Review Chemodenervation
