Investigating muscle function in children with foot deformities due to cerebral palsy: Development and application of a personalized musculoskeletal foot model

Children with cerebral palsy (CP) commonly have bony deformities of the foot, which lead to pain and gait problems. One of the causes of such a deformity is an imbalance in muscle forces around the foot. In turn, the bony deformity can also alter muscle function, due to, for example, altered muscle moment arm lengths. In this study, the altered...
