The Mechanism of Hip Dislocation Related to the Use of Abduction Bar and Hip Compression Bandage in Patients With Spastic Cerebral Palsy

Conclusions Our results showed significant changes in the adductor muscles’ amplitude, Adduction Sum, and Net Adduction Index. These results indicate that forces that worsen hip dislocation may develop, and therefore, abduction bar should either not be used for spastic cerebral palsy patients or should only be used with hip compression wrapping in place as well.
