Question 23

Walking prognosis - myelomeningocele

Answer 23

Walking in the home and community using only AFOs would be possible for a child at L4–L5

A child with a L3–L4 myelomeningocele would be expected to achieve community ambulation using KAFOs

A child with L1–L2 myelomeningocele would be expected to walk short distances in the home with KAFOs

Standing in parapodium would be an appropriate prognosis for a child who has a thoracic–level myelomeningocele
