Functional Ambulation in Patients with Myelomeningocele
Abstract
The factors important in achieving good walking status in myelomeningocele include level of paraplegia, the additional anomalies of brain and kidney, the intelligence, and the home environment. In a group of fifty-six patients none of those with lesions of the thoracic level walked and all of those with lesions of the sacral level walked. In those with lesions at lumbar levels (twenty-one lower and nineteen upper) fourteen were community ambulators and five household ambulators. The other twenty-one were either wheel-chair (nineteen) or non-functional ambulators (two) and the level of paraplegia did not seem to matter nor did the extent of surgery. Some very young non-functional ambulators rose in functional level, but in most instances the trend was to deteriorate.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
