Abstract A summary measure for quantification of the upper body position (Upper Body Profile Score [UBPS]) during gait was proposed and used in 38 children with Cerebral Palsy (CP) and 15 healthy children (Control Group: CG). Patients with CP exhibited higher values of most of the summary parameters of the upper body position than the CG. The higher influence on UBPS is by the upper body position in sagittal and transversal plane. A significant and fair correlation between UBPS and Gait Profile Score (a summary measure to quantify the lower limb gait pattern) suggests that altered upper body movements during walking could be associated with the presence of lower limb impairments.

使用汇总参数量化痉挛性双瘫儿童步态过程中的上身策略

摘要 提出并在 38 名脑瘫 (CP) 儿童和 15 名健康儿童（对照组：CG）中使用量化步态过程中上半身位置的汇总测量（上半身轮廓评分 [UBPS]）。与 CG 相比，CP 患者的上半身位置的大多数汇总参数值更高。上半身在矢状面和横断面上的位置对 UBPS 的影响更大。UBPS 和步态特征评分（量化下肢步态模式的汇总测量）之间的显着且公平的相关性表明，行走期间上身运动的改变可能与下肢损伤的存在有关。
