Children with CP presenting an intoeing gait pattern who underwent a SEMLS exhibited an increased gait quality, but gait efficiency was only minimally improved at the follow-up compared to baseline. Further studies are needed to identify contributors of gait efficiency in children with CP, and the best treatment modalities to optimise both their gait quality and efficiency.
