Divergence from the Normative Symmetry Trajectory: A Developmental Systems Model of Gait Asymmetry Progression in Hemiplegic and Diplegic Cerebral Palsy

2026-08-05

Abstract excerpt

Gait symmetry in children is increasingly understood as a development-dependent continuum rather than a fixed endpoint of perfect bilateral equivalence, a framework that this review extends into a developmental systems model of divergence in cerebral palsy. Typically developing children retain small but measurable inter-limb asymmetries that progressively decrease from early childhood to adolescence. This narrativ...
