Abstract
Walking function may be enhanced by correcting equinus and equinovarus deformities in CP. Nonoperative management should be used in young children. Muscle balancing procedures, such as gastrocnemius aponeurosis lengthening, Achilles' tendon lengthening, and SPLATT, are particularly useful in correcting these deformities.
