BACKGROUND: Cerebral palsy is the most prevalent motor disorder among children. Despite extensive studies on motor modularity of gait of children with cerebral palsy, kinematic modularity of their gait has not been addressed which is the main goal of this study.
METHODS: The kinematics of the gait of 13 typical development children and 188 children with cerebral palsy was captured and analyzed, where the cerebral palsy children were grouped into True, Jump, Apparent, and Crouch. Non-negative matrix factorization method was used to extract the kinematic modulus of each group, which were then clustered to find their characteristic movement primitives. The movement primitives of groups were then matched based on the similarity of their activation profiles.
FINDINGS: The number of movement primitives was three for the Crouch group, four for the other cerebral palsy groups, and five for the typical development group. Compared to the typical development children, the kinematic modules and activations of the cerebral palsy groups involved higher variability and co-activation, respectively (P < 0.05). Three temporally matched movement primitives were shared by all groups, but with altered structures.
INTERPRETATION: The gait of children with cerebral palsy involved lower complexity and higher variability due to the reduced and inconsistent kinematic modularity. Three basic movement primitives were sufficient to prodcue the overall gait kinematics, as observed in the Crouch group. Other movement primitives, were responsible for providing smooth transitions between basic movement primitives, as seen in more complex gait patterns.
