Filter by:The relationship between increased femoral anteversion and postural control in healthy children has not been studied in the current literature. To our knowledge there is no study to evaluate postural control in children with increased femoral anteversion by computerized posturography. We aimed to evaluate postural control in children with increased femoral anteversion using computerized dynamic posturography (Biodex Balance System).
Increased Femoral Anteversion is a transverse plan problem that affects lower body alignment, walking and standing characteristics and also pes planovalgus mostly accompanies with IFA. It is shown that children with IFA and PPV have back and leg pain, fatigue, muscle cramps and they are under the risk for chronic disorders such as osteoarthritis, scoliosis and muscle injuries. Insoles, which reduce pronation of foot (flat foot), provide apparently a static correction by supporting proper alignment in children with IFA and PPV. However, the dynamic effects of insoles to lower extremity biomechanics while walking is not known. The aims of this study are to determine the effects of the insoles on walking biomechanics in children with IFA and PPV by comparing with their healthy peers.
The investigators' objective is the anatomical analysis of hips studied through MRI, assessing their morphological characteristics and correlating them with the pathology found. A retrospective search was performed using a database of consecutive reports of 137 adults pelvis MRI examinations obtained at MRI center in Zaragoza. In all the images the investigators are going to measure the ischiofemoral space, quadratus femoris space, cervicodiaphysal angle and femoral version angle. The investigators evaluated different qualitative changes in the signal intensity of the quadratus femoris muscle as normal, edema, fatty infiltration or atrophy, and of the gluteus muscles as tendinopathy or atrophy, too.
The study was planned to assess effects on pes planus and femoral anteversion angle of exercise training mixed with play on pre-school children.
