Children with cerebral palsy have larger Achilles tendon moment arms than typically developing children

The effectiveness of the plantarflexor muscle group to generate desired plantarflexion moments is modulated by the geometry of the Achilles tendon moment arm (ATMA). Children with cerebral palsy (CP) frequently have reduced plantarflexion function, which is commonly attributed to impaired muscle str...
