Abstract
Selective dorsal rhizotomy is a valuable surgical option to manage spasticity in children with bilateral cerebral palsy with the objective of improving function. Choosing the correct patient for rhizotomy requires considerable effort and a comprehensive evaluation. Instrumented three-dimensional gait analysis provides supporting evidence in the selection of the ideal child for SDR as well as enabling quantitative monitoring of outcome and post-operative management up to skeletal maturity.
