Independent ambulation was achieved in 87-97 in young patients with CCS but no gait analysis studies have been reported before in such pathology. The aim of this study was to analyze the gait characteristics of subjects with CCS and to compare the findings with a healthy age sex and anthropomorphically matched control group CG walking both at a self-selected speed and at the same speed. Methods Twelve CCS patients and a CG of twenty subjects were analyzed. Kinematic data were obtained using a three-dimensional motion analysis system with two scanner units. The CG were asked to walk at two different speeds at a self-selected speed and at a slower one similar to the mean gait speed previously registered in the CCS patient group. Temporal spatial variables and kinematic variables maximum and minimum lower limb joint angles throughout the gait cycle in each plane along with the gait cycle instants of occurrence and the joint range of motion - ROM were compared between the two groups walking at similar speeds. Results The kinematic parameters were compared when both groups walked at a similar speed given that there was a significant difference in the self-selected speeds p 0.05 . Hip abduction and knee flexion at initial contact as well as minimal knee flexion at stance were larger in the CCS group p 0.05 . However the range of knee and ankle motion in the sagittal plane was greater in the CG group p 0.05 . The maximal ankle plantar-flexion values in stance phase
