IntroductionFew studies on fatigue, quality of life and walking ability in adults with cerebral palsy (CP) are available.It is unclear whether these variables are associated.AimThe aim was to study the influence of CP on fatigue, quality of life, and gait of adult patients.Material and methodsThree-dimensional gait analysis was performed on 24 women and 26 men, mean age 32.1 (range 21.7–67.2), 23 with unilateral and 27 with bilateral CP. The Gait Profile Score was calculated; Fatigue Severity and EQ Visual Analogue scales were used.ResultsFatigue severity was higher than in controls, mean 3.8 (SD 1.8) vs 3.0 (p = 0.012). Fatigue in the unilateral group was 3.3 (SD 1.8) and in the bilateral 4.2 (SD 1.7), (p = 0.07). EQ Visual Analogue scale in the unilateral group was mean 79.5 (21.9) and in the bilateral 64.0 (20.8), p = 0.007.The group with bilateral CP tended toward crouch gait, decreased balance and low walking speed. Muscle work was shifted from the ankle to hip muscles.Fatigue correlated with the Gait Profile Score, CC = 0.31 (p = 0.038), and with knee flexion deviation, CC = 0.31 (p = 0.037).DiscussionCrouch gait, increased knee flexion in stance, contributes to increased deviation in the lower extremity associated with high fatigue and low quality of life in adults with CP, effects more pronounced in those with bilateral CP. Compensation mechanisms in gait were noted.ConclusionRational follow-up programs for CP, ideally identifying risk factors early, should be established to prevent development of fatigue and deterioration of gait in adulthood.
