A customized parameter, 'extrinsic forearm rotation', was used to quantify associated movements supplementing forearm rotation. After surgical correction of the pronation deformity, active forearm supination during a functional reaching task had improved by a mean of 37 degrees in combination with significantly decreased extrinsic forearm rotation by a mean of 13 degrees . In addition, an average loss of 16 degrees of active pronation in combination with increased extrinsic forearm rotation (mean 8 degrees ) was observed. On the basis of these results we conclude that successful surgical correction of a pronation deformity in patients with CP directly affects related movement patterns of the upper extremity and trunk.
