Recruiting now · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Club Foot
In brief
The current study will be a randomized control trial. Data will be collected from the Pakistan Society for the Rehabilitation of the Disabled, Lahore (PSRD) and the Children Hospital and Institute of Child Health, Lahore. The study will include 18 patients, equally divided into two groups and randomly allocated. Inclusion criteria will be children aged 0 to 12 months diagnosed with CTEV of either gender. Patients with neurological conditions, other orthopedic issues, previous surgical history related to the foot, severe systemic disorders, or neuromuscular disorders will be excluded from the study. The experimental group will receive the French method along with a foot abduction brace, while the control group will receive only the French method without the brace. Outcomes to be analyzed will include foot position, severity of deformity, and functional mobility. Data collection will occur before and after the intervention, utilizing clinical assessments for foot position, the Pirani score for severity of deformity, and standardized mobility assessments. Data will be analyzed using SPSS version 23.00.
