Filter by:Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) is the most common childhood hip condition. When caught early, bracing is the most frequently used treatment; however, the brace can disrupt important mother-baby bonding time in the newborn period and present challenges to daily living. In babies with mild DDH, some studies have suggested that their hips may improve naturally as they grow and develop. This study will look at whether careful monitoring can be just as good as bracing for babies diagnosed with mild DDH less than 3 months of age, potentially avoiding unnecessary treatment. This will be the first study to look at this question with babies being treated at different hospitals in seven different countries, so the results will make an impact on children and families worldwide.
Developmental Hip Displasia (DDH) can cause various degenerations or compensatory adaptations in the spine and knee joint, especially in the hip joint. As a result of adaptations and degeneration, these individuals may experience difficulty in walking and functional activities, lack of stabilization, decreased muscle strength and activation, and loss of balance at varying levels. This situation necessitates a holistic, multifaceted rehabilitation in individuals with hip dysplasia. There is no study in the literature that shows a specific physiotherapy and rehabilitation program applied to individuals with DDH. The aim of this study was to investigate the efficacy of classical physiotherapy method in patients with DDH and to compare the efficacy of classical physiotherapy and core stabilization exercise training in treatment.
