Filter by:To Check the effects of the low dye taping technique versus the Robert Debre method on foot posture and range of motion in children with club feet.
The purpose of this study is to assess the walking pattern of clubfoot patients using a pressure sensing walkway, and investigate whether any of the data produced can be used to detect the early signs of relapse in their foot posture.
Walking measurement in children is important but there are challenges associated with obtaining reliable repeatable data in a clinical setting that is meaningful and easy to interpret. This study set out to develop a new way to collect, record, and interpret walking data that is suitable for the clinical environment. Developmental percentile charts were selected as they are widely recognised and easily interpreted.
The aim of this study was to determine ankle-foot characteristics, load distribution on foot, balance-proprioception, functional activity skills, disability and quality of life levels in children treated with Ponseti's method, finding out the asymetries between both feet in each group, to determine the differences between the healthy foot and the clubfeet, and also to examine the relationship between all parameters in healty children and children with clubfoot. 51 children ages ranging 5 to 15, were included in this study. In order to evaluate foot characteristics, anthropometric measurements were applied. FPI-6 is used for foot posture.Fizyosoft Balance System is used to measure the balance and proprioception. Functional activity were evaluated with Functional Activity and Skills Form. Disability were evaluated with OxAFQ-C and OxAFQ-P and KINDL forms are used to assess quality of life.
This is an assessor-blinded randomized feasibility trial evaluating a new dynamic bar for foot abduction bracing for clubfoot treatment. Eligible patients must have a well-corrected idiopathic clubfoot (Pirani Score ≤ 0.5) and be in the minimum 12 hours per day bracing stage of the Ponseti clubfoot treatment protocol. The overall study period will be 90 days in length. For the first 30 days, the experimental cohort will wear the new Dynamic Bar (DB) with standard ankle-foot orthoses (boots) and the control cohort will continue wearing the standard Straight Bar (SB). After this 30-day period, the experimental cohort will return to wearing their standard SB. All patients will be evaluated on Day 0, Day 7, Day 30, and Day 90 of the study period to monitor for recurrence of the clubfoot deformity, complications of brace wearing, to submit brace wear logs, and to complete parent-reported questionnaires regarding their perceptions of the Foot Abduction Brace (FAB) and their child's comfort. A minimum of 10 patients per arm will be recruited. A temperature sensor will be added in each participant's boots during the 90-day study period to objectively measure time of brace wear. It is hypothesized that when patients are wearing the DB they will experience higher brace tolerance defined as increased wear time of the brace as measured by the temperature sensors, and higher comfort levels as reported by parents, without an increase in clubfoot deformity recurrence compared to the SB.
Patients with clubfoot treated with the Ponseti method and undergoing Tibialis Anterior tendon transfer from a prospective database are evaluated using gait analysis including the Oxford foot model and compared to a group of healthy children.
Botulinum toxin is the main treatment for focal spasticity but the effects of botulinum toxin injections with respect to limitations of gait activities are still discussed. The aim of this study is to to investigate the effects of intramuscular Botulinum toxin type A injections on quantitative gait parameters (gait speed, step length and width, single support time) and posture, in hemiparetic post stroke patients with lower limb spasticity.
Identification and characterization of the link between psychomotor development and the appearance of associated signs in children with "Equinus Deformity " considered isolated at birth.
Clinical randomized clinical trial to assess the effectiveness on walking speed of repeated use of botulinum neurotoxin type A (BoNT/A)in the post-stroke spastic equinovarus foot in three successive infiltrations at 6-month intervals, checking if the sustainability of the effect is greater in incobotulinumtoxin A (Xeomin®) than in onabotulinumtoxinA (Botox®).
Congenital idiopathic clubfoot (CC) is the fifth most common congenital malformation in children. The Ponseti method is an effective protocol for treatment of congenital idiopathic clubfoot. Plaster is essential for the Ponseti treatment. This paper describes a new brace that can be used for the treatment of clubfoot in newborns and infants instead of plaster.
