Abstract

Hip flexion contracture was examined in 51 spastic cerebral palsy patients by three clinical methods and two radiologic methods. An extremely low association was found between the clinical and radiologic methods with no particular method, clinical or radiologic, showing a higher association. The method of clinical examination should be chosen by convenience. Radiologic measurements by the methods used did not add useful information.
