Ankle movement alterations during gait in children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia with suspected peripheral mononeuropathy. A cross-sectional study
Background
Peripheral neuropathy due to chemotherapeutic drugs causes alterations in ankle movement during gait. This study aimed to describe the spatiotemporal parameters and ankle kinematics during gait in schoolchildren with acute lymphoblastic leukemia with clinically suspected peripheral neuropathy.
Methods
In children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia in the maintenance phase, we calculated spatiotemporal and kinematic parameters of the ankle during gait using Kinovea® software. Furthermore, we identified alterations in the parameters obtained considering the values of the normality data from a stereophotogrammetry system as the reference values. Finally, we represented the kinematic parameters of the ankles calculated with Kinovea® compared to the normality values of the stereophotogrammetry.
Findings
We evaluated 25 schoolchildren; 13 were male (52.0%) with a median age of 88.0months and a median of 60.0 weeks in the maintenance phase, and 54.8% were classified as standard risk. Spatiotemporal parameters: cadence (steps/min), bilateral step length (m), and average gait speed (m/s) in ALL children were significantly lower than reference values (p < 0.001). Except for right mid-stance and bilateral foot strike, initial swing showed that both ankles maintained plantar flexion values during gait, significantly lower in ALL patients (p < 0.05).
Interpretation
We identified spatiotemporal and kinematics alterations in schoolchildren with acute lymphoblastic leukemia during all phases of the gait suggestive of alteration in ankle muscles during movement, probably due to peripheral neuropathy; nevertheless, our results should be taken with caution until the accuracy and reliability of Kinovea® software as a diagnostic test compared to the stereophotogrammetric system in children with ALL and healthy peers is proven.
期刊介绍:
Clinical Biomechanics is an international multidisciplinary journal of biomechanics with a focus on medical and clinical applications of new knowledge in the field.
The science of biomechanics helps explain the causes of cell, tissue, organ and body system disorders, and supports clinicians in the diagnosis, prognosis and evaluation of treatment methods and technologies. Clinical Biomechanics aims to strengthen the links between laboratory and clinic by publishing cutting-edge biomechanics research which helps to explain the causes of injury and disease, and which provides evidence contributing to improved clinical management.
A rigorous peer review system is employed and every attempt is made to process and publish top-quality papers promptly.
Clinical Biomechanics explores all facets of body system, organ, tissue and cell biomechanics, with an emphasis on medical and clinical applications of the basic science aspects. The role of basic science is therefore recognized in a medical or clinical context. The readership of the journal closely reflects its multi-disciplinary contents, being a balance of scientists, engineers and clinicians.
The contents are in the form of research papers, brief reports, review papers and correspondence, whilst special interest issues and supplements are published from time to time.
Disciplines covered include biomechanics and mechanobiology at all scales, bioengineering and use of tissue engineering and biomaterials for clinical applications, biophysics, as well as biomechanical aspects of medical robotics, ergonomics, physical and occupational therapeutics and rehabilitation.
