Item Análise dos aspectos espaço-temporais da marcha de crianças hemiparéticas que utilizam órtese em membro inferior: relato de caso(Universidade Católica do Salvador, 2018-06-26) Ventura, Vanessa Nascimento; Fonseca, Erika Pedreira da; http://lattes.cnpq.br/; Sá, Sumaia Midlej Pimentel; http://lattes.cnpq.br/Cerebral palsy causes physical and functional changes including hemiparesis. Bracing is a widely used feature in children with CP; it aims to improve the alignment of peripheral joints, prevent joint deformities and optimize space-time aspects. Objective: To observe possible changes in walking parameters, with and without AFO use in MMII. Materials and methods: This is a case report involving a child with a hemiparesis-type PC. A GoPro Hero4 was used to shoot the gait with and without AFO, the images were analyzed by the CVMOB and compared the two moments for analysis of possible changes in speed, pitch length and cadence. Project was approved by the CEP with CAEE of 82972217.9.0000.5628 according to Law 466/2012. Results: The AFO prescription for children with spastic hemiparesis-type PCs may influence spatiotemporal aspects. The use of the device increased pitch length however decreased speed and cadence. Conclusion: The results showed that AFO influences the spatiotemporal aspects of gait of the hemiparetic child due to PC sequel but new studies involving a larger number of participants are needed to increase the results
