  https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/clubfoot/diagnosis-treatment/drc-20350866

  Many times, a healthcare professional diagnoses clubfoot soon after birth just from looking at the shape and position of the newborn’s foot. […] Because a newborn’s bones, joints and tendons are very flexible, treatment for clubfoot usually begins in the first week or two after birth. The goals of treatment are to move the child’s foot into a corrected position with the bottom of the foot facing the ground. Treatment with casting allows for the best movement of the foot and best long-term results. Treatment is most effective if done in the first few months of age. […] Casting is the main treatment for clubfoot. The healthcare professional typically: Moves your baby’s foot into an improved position and then places it in a cast to hold it there. […] After the shape of your baby’s foot is improved, the foot needs to stay in position. To help your child keep the foot in position: Put your child in special shoes and braces.

  Clubfoot, or congenital talipes equinovarus, is a set of foot deformities of varying severity consisting of equinus (plantar flexion of talocrural joint), hindfoot varus (subtalar inversion), forefoot supination (adduction of talonavicular), and cavus of the midfoot. It is a significant cause of pain, disability, and deformity if left untreated. […] The incidence of clubfoot is 1-2/1000 live births throughout the world every year, but varies according to geographic location. […] Clubfoot is characterized not only by alignment issues, but also by changes in shape and size of the involved bones. […] Although patients demonstrate gait impairments, idiopathic clubfoot should not delay normal growth and development. […] Physical examination must explore more than the foot/gait. Associated conditions such as neuromuscular or genetic disorders must be ruled out.

  Clubfoot is a congenital foot deformity that affects a child’s bones, muscles, tendons, and blood vessels. The front half of an affected foot turns inward and the heel points down. In severe cases, the foot is turned so far that the bottom faces sideways or up rather than down. The condition, also known as talipes equinovarus, is fairly common. About one to four of every 1,000 babies are born with clubfoot. The condition affects boys twice as often as it does girls. […] Despite the appearance, clubfoot is not a painful condition for babies. Almost all children who receive early treatment are able to run, play, and function quite normally. Without treatment, clubfeet do not get better on their own. The foot remains in the deformed position and makes it hard for a child to walk. […] The goal of clubfoot treatment is to correct the position of the foot so that the bones, tendons, and muscles of the foot can grow more normally. Ideally, treatment begins within one month of a child’s birth, when their feet and ankles are at the earliest possible stage of development.

  https://memorialhermann.org/services/conditions/fetal-club-foot

  Talipes Equinovarus (TEV), commonly known as club foot, is one of the most common orthopedic birth defects. The incidence of club foot deformity is about 1 to 2 per 1000 live births. About 50% of cases are bilateral. The complex deformity is produced by tight ligaments and abnormal bones in the foot that cause the foot to be pointed downwards and turned inwards. This deformity does not correct on its own. Untreated TEV leads to weight bearing on the outside border of the foot which leads to significant disability in later life. […] Most clubfoot deformities can be treated successfully with casting initiated during the first few weeks of life. The casting is performed weekly and allows gradual correction of the deformity. Most patients require a small surgery at the end of casting to release the Achilles tendon and allow completion of the deformity correction. Bracing is essential to maintain the correction obtained after casting. Initial bracing is around the clock but is decreased to night time wear by the time the child starts walking.

  In clubfoot, the front of the foot is pointed in and down. Also, the arch may be raised and the heel turned inward. The foot is typically fixed in this position. Without treatment, the child may walk on the side or top of the foot. […] Clubfoot will not get better without treatment. But it can be successfully treated using a specific casting technique. Usually, babies also need a minor procedure to lengthen the heel tendon. Treatment results are best with casting that begins within several weeks after birth. […] Treatment can bring the foot into the proper position and help a child walk well. But a child may still have some problems with: […] If clubfoot is not treated, more-serious problems can happen.

  Ponseti treatment is the internally accepted gold-standard of clubfoot care. It typically involves: serial weekly casts over 5-8 weeks […] a minor outpatient surgical procedure (the Achilles Tendon Tenotomy) […] use of a foot abduction brace for up to five years, to prevent relapse. Ponseti treatment can restore the same movement, function, and appearance as unaffected feet. It is cost-effective, even in low-income settings, simple to administer, and can be applied by a diverse range of healthcare professionals including physiotherapists. In the maintenance phase, a Foot Abduction Brace (FAB), often referred to as boots and bar, is used to hold the feet up and outwards, in the corrected position achieved with through casting. This is used for 23 hours out of 24 for the first 12 weeks, and then at night and nap times until the age of five. Untreated clubfoot leads to pain, difficulty walking, stigma and exclusion from education and employment opportunities. This places a significant burden on individuals, families and communities. Lifelong disability caused by clubfoot is entirely preventable.

• #9 Clubfoot (for Parents) | Nemours KidsHealth

  https://kidshealth.org/en/parents/clubfoot.html

  Clubfoot is a common type of birth defect that affects muscles and bones in the feet. Instead of being straight, a clubfoot points down and turns in. This twisting causes the toes to point toward the opposite leg. A baby can be born with the defect in one or both feet. […] A clubfoot isn’t painful and won’t cause health problems until a child begins to stand and walk. But clubfoot that isn’t treated can lead to serious problems and even make a child unable to walk. So it’s very important to begin to correct it quickly, ideally a week or two after birth. […] Clubfoot won’t get better on its own. It used to be fixed with surgery. But now, doctors use a series of casts, gentle movements and stretches of the foot, and a brace to slowly move the foot into the right position this is called the Ponseti method.

  Clubfoot is a congenital deformity of the foot, otherwise known as congenital talipes equinovarus. […] This activity will also discuss the gold standard of treatment via the Ponseti technique, as well as possible complications that can occur during treatment. […] Clubfoot demonstrates excellent success rates in correction and overall patient outcomes if recognized early and treated appropriately. […] Ponseti technique for correcting clubfoot deformity was developed in the 1940s and remained the gold standard for treatment. […] Casting should ideally begin in the first week or two following birth, but this technique can be used up to the age of 2 years. […] Correction of the deformity needs to occur in a stepwise manner to sequentially correct the three-dimensional deformity. […] Bracing is the second phase of treatment, which maintains the correction achieved. […] Compliance with bracing is crucial, and appropriate counseling and support are essential. […] Surgical intervention may be required those with residual deformities or recurrent relapses. […] An interprofessional team approach is crucial to ensure good outcomes are achievable.

  The Ponseti method is the most common and effective clubfoot treatment. This treatment uses a series of casts and braces to rotate the baby’s foot into a corrected position. The foot is rotated externally until it is turned out 60-70 degrees. Treatment usually begins sometime between birth and 4 weeks of age and involves two stages: treatment and bracing. […] Clubfoot bracing lasts for several years and is crucially important to your child’s long-term mobility. The brace maintains your child’s foot in a corrected position. […] With early treatment and bracing, almost all babies with clubfoot grow up to have normally functioning feet. They can run, play, and wear normal shoes. If only one foot is affected, it will most likely be smaller and somewhat less mobile than the other foot. Your child may require two different shoe sizes. The affected leg may be slightly smaller and the calf may be less muscular than their other leg.

  The University of Iowa is the home of modern treatment for clubfoot. The late Ignacio Ponseti, MD, developed the Ponseti method for clubfoot treatment, which has been accepted world-wide. […] When treated by expert hands practicing the Ponseti method, infants born with clubfeet will have normal looking feet with normal function. The well-treated clubfoot is no handicap and the child is fully capable of living a normal, active life. […] In the majority of cases, clubfeet can be corrected in infancy in about six to eight weeks with proper gentle manipulations and plaster casts. The treatment is based on understanding of the functional anatomy of the foot and of the biological response of muscles, ligaments and bone to corrective position changes gradually obtained by manipulation and casting.

  Talipes equinovarus (TEV) is the medical term for clubfoot, and our pediatric orthopedic physicians are specialists in this common, treatable condition. […] Clubfoot is treatable, and most patients enjoy fully-functioning use of the once-affected foot. […] Options to treat clubfoot include casting, bracing and surgical options. […] The Ponseti method has been around for about 50 years. […] The Ponseti method includes gentle massage and moving parts of the foot to stretch the tight or shortened segments of the clubfoot slowly into a good position. […] To help get the foot in the best position, most babies with clubfoot will need to have their Achilles tendon lengthened. […] This special brace is made of two high-top, open-toed shoes that are fixed on a metal bar. […] Wearing the brace exactly as instructed is important. […] Children with club feet will need to wear the brace until around the age of 4.

  The treatment should begin in the first week or two of life to take advantage of the elasticity of the tissues forming the ligaments joint capsules and tendons. A plaster cast is applied after each weekly session to retain the degree of correction obtained and to soften the ligaments. The misplaced bones are gradually brought into the correct alignment. […] Five to seven plaster casts extending from the toes to the upper thigh with the knees at right angle are usually sufficient to correct the clubfoot deformity. Even very stiff feet require no more than eight or nine plaster casts to obtain maximum correction. […] Before applying the final plaster cast, which is worn for three weeks, the Achilles tendon is often cut to complete the correction of the foot. By the time the cast is removed the tendon has regenerated to a proper length. […] To prevent relapses, when the last plaster cast is removed, a brace must be worn full-time for two to three months and thereafter at night for approximately four to five years.

• #29 Interventions for congenital talipes equinovarus (clubfoot)

  https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7265154/

  Congenital talipes equinovarus (CTEV), also known as clubfoot, is a common congenital orthopaedic condition characterised by an excessively turned-in foot (equinovarus) and high medial longitudinal arch (cavus). If left untreated it can result in long-term disability, deformity and pain. Interventions can be conservative (such as splinting or stretching) or surgical. Different treatments might be effective at different stages: at birth (initial presentation); when initial treatment does not work (resistant presentation); when the initial treatment works but the clubfoot returns (relapse/recurrent presentation); and when there has been no early treatment (neglected presentation). […] The treatment of CTEV is usually conservative in initial cases, with surgical options reserved for correction of any resistant (remaining) deformity. Conservative treatment includes stretching, for example, the French functional method; varied serial casting (e.g. plaster casts) and bracing, including Ponseti and Kite techniques; minor surgical intervention, for example, Achilles tenotomy (release of the heel cord), tibialis anterior tendon transfer (moving a muscle in the foot) and Achilles lengthening (lengthening of the calf muscle); the use of external fixator devices (surgical application of a metal brace); and botulinum toxin injections.

[…] Traditionally, surgery for clubfoot has been indicated when a plateau has been reached in nonoperative treatment. It has usually been performed when the child is of sufficient size to allow recognition of the anatomy. No specific contraindications for surgery exist, though the child’s size dictates that surgery is best performed at approximately age 6 months. […] With greater acceptance of the Ponseti conservative technique, surgery has come to be seen to be a contentious issue. Surgery for clubfeet is not the only standard of care.

  Congenital talipes equinovarus or clubfoot is usually evident at birth. Nursing care of an infant with clubfoot include the following: Assessment of a child with clubfoot include: Seek a detailed family history of clubfoot or neuromuscular disorders, and perform a general examination to identify any other abnormalities. Examine the feet with the child prone, with the plantar aspect of the feet visualized, and supine to evaluate internal rotation and varus; if the child can stand, determine whether the foot is plantigrade, whether the heel is bearing weight, and whether it is in varus, valgus, or neutral. Based on the assessment data, the major nursing diagnoses are: Disturbed body image related to permanent alteration in structure and/or function. Deficient knowledge related to the condition, prognosis, treatment, self-care, and discharge needs. Risk for peripheral neurovascular dysfunction related to mechanical compression (cast or brace). Risk for impaired skin integrity related to cast application, traction or surgery. Risk for impaired parenting related to maladaptive coping strategies secondary to diagnosis of talipes deformity. The major nursing care planning goals for patients with congenital talipes equinovarus (clubfoot) are: Parents verbalize acceptance of self in the situation.

  Congenital talipes equinovarus or clubfoot is usually evident at birth. Nursing care of an infant with clubfoot include the following: Assessment of a child with clubfoot include: Seek a detailed family history of clubfoot or neuromuscular disorders, and perform a general examination to identify any other abnormalities. Examine the feet with the child prone, with the plantar aspect of the feet visualized, and supine to evaluate internal rotation and varus; if the child can stand, determine whether the foot is plantigrade, whether the heel is bearing weight, and whether it is in varus, valgus, or neutral. Based on the assessment data, the major nursing diagnoses are: Disturbed body image related to permanent alteration in structure and/or function. Deficient knowledge related to the condition, prognosis, treatment, self-care, and discharge needs. Risk for peripheral neurovascular dysfunction related to mechanical compression (cast or brace). Risk for impaired skin integrity related to cast application, traction or surgery. Risk for impaired parenting related to maladaptive coping strategies secondary to diagnosis of talipes deformity.

  Congenital talipes equinovarus or clubfoot is usually evident at birth. Nursing care of an infant with clubfoot include the following: Assessment of a child with clubfoot include: Seek a detailed family history of clubfoot or neuromuscular disorders, and perform a general examination to identify any other abnormalities. Examine the feet with the child prone, with the plantar aspect of the feet visualized, and supine to evaluate internal rotation and varus; if the child can stand, determine whether the foot is plantigrade, whether the heel is bearing weight, and whether it is in varus, valgus, or neutral. Based on the assessment data, the major nursing diagnoses are: Disturbed body image related to permanent alteration in structure and/or function. Deficient knowledge related to the condition, prognosis, treatment, self-care, and discharge needs. Risk for peripheral neurovascular dysfunction related to mechanical compression (cast or brace). Risk for impaired skin integrity related to cast application, traction or surgery. Risk for impaired parenting related to maladaptive coping strategies secondary to diagnosis of talipes deformity.

  Clubfoot is a congenital deformity of the foot, otherwise known as congenital talipes equinovarus. […] This activity will also discuss the gold standard of treatment via the Ponseti technique, as well as possible complications that can occur during treatment. […] Clubfoot demonstrates excellent success rates in correction and overall patient outcomes if recognized early and treated appropriately. […] Ponseti technique for correcting clubfoot deformity was developed in the 1940s and remained the gold standard for treatment. […] Casting should ideally begin in the first week or two following birth, but this technique can be used up to the age of 2 years. […] Correction of the deformity needs to occur in a stepwise manner to sequentially correct the three-dimensional deformity. […] Bracing is the second phase of treatment, which maintains the correction achieved. […] Compliance with bracing is crucial, and appropriate counseling and support are essential. […] Surgical intervention may be required those with residual deformities or recurrent relapses. […] An interprofessional team approach is crucial to ensure good outcomes are achievable.

Approximately 1 in every 1,000 babies will be born with clubfoot, which makes it one of the more common congenital foot deformities. […] Extensive surgery used to be the main treatment to correct clubfoot. But today, healthcare providers typically use a combination of nonsurgical methods and a minor procedure. […] Healthcare providers recommend treating clubfoot as soon as possible. Early treatment helps your child avoid problems later. Its best to begin treatment during your babys first two weeks of life. […] Your baby will likely need a team of healthcare providers to treat clubfoot, including a pediatric orthopedist, orthopedic surgeon, and physical therapist.

  A baby with clubfoot will be treated by an orthopedic surgeon (a doctor who focuses on conditions of the bones, muscles, and joints) who has been trained in the Ponseti method. If your baby has a clubfoot, make sure that your orthopedic surgeon has had this training. […] The Ponseti method is done in two phases: the casting phase and the bracing phase. […] A child will wear the brace all the time for about 3 months, and then only at night or during naps for a few years. Most kids adapt well to wearing the brace, though it can take them a day or two to get used to it. […] Permanently fixing a clubfoot can take several years. But a clubfoot that isn’t corrected can cause physical and emotional problems. […] By following the orthopedic surgeon’s treatment plan, you can help make sure that your child will be able to walk, run, and play without pain. Consider yourself a partner in your child’s care.

  Initially, the brace is worn nearly continuously and then just at night. In about 20% of cases, further surgery is required. Treatment can be carried out by a range of healthcare providers and can generally be achieved in the developing world with few resources. […] The Ponseti method corrects clubfoot over the course of several stages. The goal of the initial cast is to align the forefoot with the hindfoot. The final stage of casting is to correct the equinus. After successful correction is achieved through serial casting and Achilles tenotomy, the foot must be kept in a brace to prevent it from returning to the deformed position over the first few years of a child’s life. […] Bracing is essential in preventing recurrence of the deformity and is a major determinant of a child’s long-term outcome. The impact of Ponsetti management of clubfoot on mothers and caregivers has also been researched with studies finding mothers caring for children with congenital club foot report significantly lower levels of psychological health than mothers of healthy infants.

  The Ponseti method is the most common and effective clubfoot treatment. This treatment uses a series of casts and braces to rotate the baby’s foot into a corrected position. The foot is rotated externally until it is turned out 60-70 degrees. Treatment usually begins sometime between birth and 4 weeks of age and involves two stages: treatment and bracing. […] Clubfoot bracing lasts for several years and is crucially important to your child’s long-term mobility. The brace maintains your child’s foot in a corrected position. […] With early treatment and bracing, almost all babies with clubfoot grow up to have normally functioning feet. They can run, play, and wear normal shoes. If only one foot is affected, it will most likely be smaller and somewhat less mobile than the other foot. Your child may require two different shoe sizes. The affected leg may be slightly smaller and the calf may be less muscular than their other leg.

  Club foot (also called talipes) is where a baby is born with a foot or feet that turn in and under. Early treatment should correct it. […] Club foot can affect 1 or both feet. It’s not painful for babies, but it can become painful and make it difficult to walk if it’s not treated. […] Treatment for club foot usually starts within 1 to 2 weeks of your baby being born. […] The main treatment, called the Ponseti method, involves gently manipulating and stretching your baby’s foot into a better position. It’s then put into a cast. […] After the last cast comes off, most babies need a minor operation to loosen the Achilles tendon at the back of their ankle. […] They’ll need to wear these all the time for the first 3 months, then overnight until they’re 4 or 5 years old. […] Nearly all children with club foot are treated successfully.

  When the orthopedic surgeon has determined the feet are ready, they will take a small needle and cut the infant’s Achilles tendon. […] After the procedure, the feet will be cast again. This cast will remain on the infant for three weeks when they will then be ready to transition from casts to shoes. […] The next step in clubfoot treatment involves the child wearing specially designed shoes. These shoes should be worn by the infant for 23 hours a day for at least three months. […] The final stage is the longest step in the Ponseti Method of clubfoot treatment. It’s recommended that the child wears their shoes during sleep and naps, which should total around 14 hours a day. […] Dr. Casey shares that most of the time, infants don’t even cry when their casts are being changed. […] Though the diagnosis may be scary, clubfoot treatment has been streamlined and perfected over years of testing and tinkering by orthopedic surgeons. […] Clubfoot treatment is time-intensive and requires dedication from all parties: doctors, parents, and especially the child themselves. The origins of the condition are unknown, but the treatment is tested, proven and possible.

  The Ponseti technique is currently the most practised treatment with excellent long-term outcomes. This technique involves six to eight weeks of long leg plaster casts (toe to groin) with gentle manipulation around the talar head (a part of the ankle joint). Casts are changed once a week. Up to 90% of cases require an Achilles tenotomy to correct remaining equinus (heel cord tightness) deformity. This is considered part of routine treatment. Patients are then required to wear boots and a bar brace for 23 hours a day for three months and then during sleep until four years of age. The Ponseti technique has been shown to significantly reduce the need for major foot surgery. […] Unfortunately, with all treatments relapses are common and may occur in up to 37% of children within two years, and in up to 47% before four years of age. Causes of relapse include noncompliance with bracing regimens (such as the Ponseti method), relative overactivity of the tibialis anterior tendon, and progressive neuromuscular disease. When left untreated, the foot gradually returns to its original position.

Historically, relapses were treated with major surgical intervention including muscle, ligament and joint releases or bony operations. Long-term observational studies have found poorer outcomes in those treated with major foot surgery. Clinicians are therefore beginning to use the same conservative techniques used in initial CTEV to treat relapses. […] From the evidence available, the Ponseti technique may produce significantly better short-term foot alignment compared to the Kite technique. The certainty of evidence is too low for us to draw conclusions about the Ponseti technique compared to a traditional technique. An accelerated Ponseti technique may be as effective as a standard technique, but results are based on a single small comparative trial. When using the Ponseti technique semirigid fibreglass casting may be as effective as plaster of Paris.

[…] Casting should ideally begin in the first week or two following birth, but this technique can be used up to the age of 2 years. […] Correction of the deformity needs to occur in a stepwise manner to sequentially correct the three-dimensional deformity. […] Bracing is the second phase of treatment, which maintains the correction achieved. […] Compliance with bracing is crucial, and appropriate counseling and support are essential. […] Surgical intervention may be required those with residual deformities or recurrent relapses. […] An interprofessional team approach is crucial to ensure good outcomes are achievable.

  Abnormality present at birth in which the infants foot is twisted out of shape due to short tendons. […] Nursing care for these kids focuses on coordinating care and educating parents. […] Because these babies are having casts placed during a time that they are growing so rapidly, the cast can easily become too tight affecting circulation. […] So we have to teach parents to assess skin and circulation for any problems while undergoing the serial casting. […] Nursing care is focused on making sure that the skin remains intact and circulation to the foot is good. […] Patient education is super important because if parents aren’t compliant with the casting and braces then their kid may not have the best outcome.

  Congenital talipes equinovarus or clubfoot is usually evident at birth. Nursing care of an infant with clubfoot include the following: Assessment of a child with clubfoot include: Seek a detailed family history of clubfoot or neuromuscular disorders, and perform a general examination to identify any other abnormalities. Examine the feet with the child prone, with the plantar aspect of the feet visualized, and supine to evaluate internal rotation and varus; if the child can stand, determine whether the foot is plantigrade, whether the heel is bearing weight, and whether it is in varus, valgus, or neutral. Based on the assessment data, the major nursing diagnoses are: Disturbed body image related to permanent alteration in structure and/or function. Deficient knowledge related to the condition, prognosis, treatment, self-care, and discharge needs. Risk for peripheral neurovascular dysfunction related to mechanical compression (cast or brace). Risk for impaired skin integrity related to cast application, traction or surgery. Risk for impaired parenting related to maladaptive coping strategies secondary to diagnosis of talipes deformity. The major nursing care planning goals for patients with congenital talipes equinovarus (clubfoot) are: Parents verbalize acceptance of self in the situation. Family/SO discuss about situation and changes that would have occurred. Parents develop realistic goals/plans for the future. Parents explain disease state, recognizes the need for medications and understands treatments. Parents demonstrate how to incorporate new health regimen into lifestyle. Parents exhibit ability to deal with health situation and remain in control of life. Parents demonstrate an understanding of plan to heal tissue and prevent injury. Parents describe measures to protect and heal the tissue, including wound care. Nursing interventions for the child are: Protect skin integrity. Monitor site of impaired tissue integrity at least once daily for color changes, redness, swelling, warmth, pain, or other signs of infection; monitor patients skin care practices, noting type of soap or other cleansing agents used, temperature of water, and frequency of skin cleansing; and provide gloves or clip the nails if necessary to avoid damaging the skin with scratches. Promote acceptance of body image. Acknowledge and accept an expression of feelings of frustration, dependency, anger, grief, and hostility; support verbalization of positive or negative feelings about the actual or perceived loss; and be realistic and positive during treatments, in health teaching, and in setting goals within limitations. Provide health education. Include the parents in creating the teaching plan, beginning with establishing objectives and goals for learning at the beginning of the session; provide clear, thorough, and understandable explanations and demonstrations; and render positive, constructive reinforcement of learning. Goals are met as evidenced by: Parents verbalized acceptance of self in situation. Family/SO discussed about situation and changes that would have occurred. Parents developed realistic goals/plans for the future. Parents explained disease state, recognizes need for medications, and understands treatments. Parents demonstrated how to incorporate new health regimen into lifestyle. Parents exhibited ability to deal with health situation and remain in control of life. Parents demonstrated an understanding of plan to heal tissue and prevent injury. Parents described measures to protect and heal the tissue, including wound care. Documentation in a child with clubfoot include: Individual findings, including factors affecting, interactions, nature of social exchanges, specifics of individual behavior. Characteristics of the skin. Cultural and religious beliefs, and expectations. Plan of care. Teaching plan. Responses to interventions, teaching, and actions performed.

  The Ponseti method is the most common and effective clubfoot treatment. This treatment uses a series of casts and braces to rotate the baby’s foot into a corrected position. The foot is rotated externally until it is turned out 60-70 degrees. Treatment usually begins sometime between birth and 4 weeks of age and involves two stages: treatment and bracing. […] Clubfoot bracing lasts for several years and is crucially important to your child’s long-term mobility. The brace maintains your child’s foot in a corrected position. […] With early treatment and bracing, almost all babies with clubfoot grow up to have normally functioning feet. They can run, play, and wear normal shoes. If only one foot is affected, it will most likely be smaller and somewhat less mobile than the other foot. Your child may require two different shoe sizes. The affected leg may be slightly smaller and the calf may be less muscular than their other leg.
