Clubfoot patients show more anterior-posterior displacement during one-leg-standing and less ankle power and plantarflexor moment during one-leg-hopping than typically developing children KU Leuven
BACKGROUND: Clubfoot patients show good-to-excellent foot correction after the Ponseti method. Nevertheless, underlying functional problems that limit motor abilities such as one-leg-standing and one-leg-hopping still persist. These restrictions have been proposed to arise due to problems with maintaining balance and the limited force-generating capacity of clubfoot patients. More insight is needed to understand the underlying limiting factors ...
