Hello All.
I have been presented a unique case that I would appreciate any advise you may be able to share.
9 year old child who was involved in some type of trauma approximately 2 years ago. They have been left with an interesting neurologic presentation. The following is on the right side only.
Trace-Zero knee extensors
Trace-Zero hip adductors
Trace- Zero hip flexors
Good hip extensors
Good hip abductors
Normal lower leg musculature.
According to the M.D. the patient and family report that the child does ok when walking at a slow pace, but if they try and ambulate quickly or attempt to run, they have problems.
Physician has already seen patient once and is having them come back in for another evaluation and has asked that I assist in trying to come up with a reccomendation. Again, any insights you would like to share would be greatly appreciated. I will post the responses.
Thank you.
