Morphological Analysis of Ankle Shorts Bones of Children with Cerebral Palsy, A Comparative Study

Cerebral palsy is a common physical disability in childhood that results in aberrant movement and postural patterns. To better understand the pathology and improve the rehabilitation of patients, this article comparatively studies the ankle short bones morphology with one of the state-of-the-art tools, ShapeWorks, and a deformation-based method. Experiments on a clinical dataset reveal calcaneus and talus deformity patterns, providing a guideline for clinical decisions.
