Clubfoot treatment at Kids Orthopedic, KolkataKids Orthopedic
As a congenital deformity, clubfoot or congenital talipes equinovarus (CTEV) can affect a child’s one foot or both feet. The affected foot of a child looks like being rotated internally at the ankle. The child further finds it difficult to place the sole of the foot flat on the surface. Hence, a child with clubfoot looks like walking on the side of his feet or on his ankles. However, the characteristics and symptoms of club foot differ from one child to another. The parents must start treatment for clubfoot immediately to avoid major problems as the child grows.
Festinating gait is characterized by a flexed trunk, stiffly flexed legs at the knees and hips, and short, slow steps. It is seen in Parkinson's disease due to dopamine deficiency in the basal ganglia. Pigeon gait or intoeing is when the feet turn inward, resembling a pigeon walk. It can be caused by metatarsus adductus, tibial torsion, or femoral anteversion. Treatment may include exercises and corrective shoes or casting for flexible cases, while fixed cases may require surgery.

Club foot, also known as congenital talipes equinovarus, is a congenital deformity where the foot is twisted out of shape. It occurs in approximately 1 in 1,000 live births. While the exact cause is unknown, risk factors include family history, smoking during pregnancy, and lack of amniotic fluid. Treatment options for club foot include stretching and casting, which is the most common approach, as well as stretching and taping or surgery. With early treatment, those with club foot can often walk normally and lead active lives.
This document discusses idiopathic toe walking (ITW), which refers to walking on the toes without a known medical cause beyond age 3. Key points include that ITW can lead to tight calf muscles and limited ankle movement. Treatment may include calf stretches, Achilles tendon stretches, exercises to improve strength and balance, and night splints or serial casting for children with tight heel cords. Physical therapy focuses on stretching, strengthening, gait training, and strategies to improve motor control and sensory processing. While some cases resolve on their own, treatment is usually recommended to prevent long-term impacts to gait and posture.

This document provides information on congenital talipes equinovarus, or clubfoot, which is a common birth defect where the foot is twisted out of shape. It affects about 1 in 1000 births. Clubfoot is caused by shortened tendons in the foot and can be either idiopathic (no known cause) or associated with genetic factors or other conditions. Treatment typically begins within the first few weeks of life and involves casting and stretching to realign the foot, sometimes with minor surgery. Proper bracing after treatment is needed to prevent recurrence. The document outlines nursing assessments and care goals for managing clubfoot.

Joseph J. Ruzbarsky, David Scher, and Emily Dodwell
Purpose of review
The present review includes the most up-to-date literature on the causes, epidemiology, diagnosis, and
treatment of toe walking.
Recent findings
The prevalence of toe walking at age 5.5 years is 2% in normally developing children, and 41% in
children with a neuropsychiatric diagnosis or developmental delays. A recent systematic review concluded
that there is good evidence for casting and surgery in the treatment of idiopathic toe walking, with only
surgery providing long-term results beyond 1 year. Botox combined with casting does not provide better
outcomes compared with casting alone. Ankle-foot-orthoses restrict toe walking when worn, but children
revert to equinus gait once the orthosis is removed.
Summary
Toe walking can occur because of an underlying anatomic or neuromuscular condition, but in the majority
of cases toe walking is idiopathic, without a discernable underlying cause. For some families, toe walking
may simply be a cosmetic concern, whereas in other cases it can cause pain or functional issues. Treatment
for toe walking is based on age, underlying cause, and the severity of tendon contracture. Described
treatments include casting, chemical denervation, orthotics, physical therapy, and surgical lengthening of
the gastroc–soleus–Achilles complex. A careful history, clinical exam, and selective diagnostic testing can
be used to differentiate between different types of toe walking and determine the most appropriate
treatment for each child.

INTRODUCTION
Toe walking entails walking on the toes or forefoot,
with a lack of heel strike upon initiation of the
stance phase of gait. Toe walking is considered a
normal stage in gait development, but should
resolve by 3–7 years of age [1,2]. Although the
majority of toe walkers are otherwise healthy chil-
dren, it is important to approach each case with a
high index of suspicion as toe walking can be due to
a structural problem such as a contracted tendon,
compensation for a short limb, or a manifestation of
autism spectrum disorders (ASDs), cerebral palsy,
muscular dystrophies, or other neurologic or neuro-
muscular conditions (Table 1). Idiopathic toe walk-
ing (ITW) is a diagnosis of exclusion; the diagnosis
can only be made when other potential diagnoses
have been ruled out.
Toe walking (Fig. 1) is a frequent cause of pres-
entation to the pediatrician, neurologist, podiatrist,

Congenital talipes equinovarus, or clubfoot, is a common birth defect where the foot is twisted out of shape. It occurs in about 1 in 1000 births and is more common in males. Genetic factors are believed to play a role. Treatment usually begins within the first weeks of life and involves casting and stretching to realign the foot, sometimes with minor surgery. Properly fitted braces are then worn long term to maintain the corrected position and allow normal walking. With early treatment, most children with clubfoot can walk normally.
This document discusses congenital talipes equinovarus, or clubfoot, which is a common birth defect where the foot is twisted out of shape. It occurs in about 1 in 1000 births. Clubfoot is usually an isolated problem in otherwise healthy newborns and is twice as common in males. Treatment typically begins within the first weeks of life and involves casting and stretching to realign the foot, sometimes with minor surgery. Proper use of braces after treatment is needed to prevent the foot from returning to its original position. The cause is usually unknown but genetics and environmental factors may play a role. Nursing care focuses on supporting parents, educating on treatment and self-care, and protecting the skin during casting.

Cerebral palsy is a group of disorders that affect movement and muscle coordination, appearing in early childhood. It can be caused by complications during pregnancy like infection or problems with brain development. Babies at higher risk are premature, low birth weight, or had complicated labor. Signs include poor balance, shaky movements, and abnormal speech or gait. Diagnosis involves neurological exams and scans. Treatment focuses on physical, occupational and speech therapy as well as orthotics, medications, and sometimes surgery. Prevention involves prenatal care and immunizations.

Pes planus, or flat feet, is a loss of the medial longitudinal arch of the foot. It can be flexible or fixed, developmental or acquired. Treatment is usually only needed if pes planus is new, painful, progressing, or associated with other problems. Non-surgical treatments include stretching exercises, orthotics, and addressing contributing factors like tight heel cords or obesity. Surgery is considered for rigid, painful pes planus or conditions that may worsen without intervention.

Osteomyelitis is a bone infection that is more common in children under 5. It develops when a bacterial infection spreads to the bone, usually from the blood. Symptoms include fever, pain, and swelling near the infected bone. Treatment involves IV and oral antibiotics, as well as pain management. Surgery is rarely needed in children.
Muscular dystrophy is a genetic disease that causes progressive muscle weakness and loss of muscle mass over time. The most common type in boys is Duchenne muscular dystrophy, which appears in early childhood and causes trouble walking, running, and rising from seated positions. There is no cure, but therapy and assistive devices can help manage symptoms and improve quality of life.
Pain is a warning signal that something is wrong. Our bones should not hurt when they grow and our legs should not hurt when we exercise. View this presentation to learn more.
This document provides information on cerebral palsy (CP), including its definition, classification, etiology, management, and common lower limb deformities seen in CP patients. Some key points:
- CP is a non-progressive disorder of the brain resulting in impaired motor function and posture. It occurs due to an insult to the developing brain, most commonly during prenatal, perinatal, or postnatal periods.
- Common classifications of CP include spastic, athetoid, ataxic, and mixed types based on the predominant motor symptoms. Lower limb deformities often seen include hip flexion contractures, knee flexion contractures, and foot equinus.
- Management involves controlling spasticity
Flat feet change the shape of one or both feet of a child. The child with flat feet does not have normal arch in standing position. Some children with flat feet even find it difficult to wear shoes comfortably. However, the symptoms of flat feet differ from one individual to another. Some children with flat foot do not show any symptoms, whereas others experience pain.
Paediatric orthopaedics is a specialized branch of orthopaedics surgery which deals with musculoskeletal problems (bone, joint and muscle) in a child who is still growing. It also includes musculoskeletal problems of young adults, which are squeal of their childhood disease.
Osgood-Schlatter's disease is a common cause of knee pain in active children between ages 9-16 that affects the growth plate where the patellar tendon attaches to the shinbone. It causes pain and swelling and can limit sports. The author, Jenny Strickland, developed a treatment protocol drawing on her experience as a physiotherapist. Her protocol aims to address tight muscles that may pull on the growth plate without worsening the condition through standard stretching. Her approach has proven successful in allowing children to continue playing sports while healing.

Empyema is a disease of respiratory system It is defines as the accumulation of thick, purulent fluid within the pleural space, often with fibrin development.
Empyema is also called pyothorax or purulent pleuritis.
It’s a condition in which pus gathers in the area between the lungs and the inner surface of the chest wall. This area is known as the pleural space.
Pus is a fluid that’s filled with immune cells, dead cells, and bacteria.
Pus in the pleural space can’t be coughed out. Instead, it needs to be drained by a needle or surgery.
Empyema usually develops after pneumonia, which is an infection of the lung tissue. it is mainly caused due in infectious micro-organisms. It can be treated with medications and other measures.
This particular slides consist of- what is hypotension,what are it's causes and it's effect on body, risk factors, symptoms,complications, diagnosis and role of physiotherapy in it.
This slide is very helpful for physiotherapy students and also for other medical and healthcare students.
Here is the summary of hypotension:
Hypotension, or low blood pressure, is when the pressure of blood circulating in the body is lower than normal or expected. It's only a problem if it negatively impacts the body and causes symptoms. Normal blood pressure is usually between 90/60 mmHg and 120/80 mmHg, but pressures below 90/60 are generally considered hypotensive.

5 common orthopedic problems during childhood
1. 5 common orthopedic problems during childhood
Orthopedic health among children is equally important as adults. It has been
observed by an orthopedic doctor in Patna, that many a times, some of the
orthopedic problems that develop from childhood years does not eventually
correct itself and has caused damage because it was not brought to the attention
of a specialist sooner. Some of the common conditions among kids are as follows:
1. Flatfeet
Specialists such as an orthopedic surgeon in Patna, say that most of the
babies are born with flatfeet and with time, the arches develop. However, in
some kids, these arches do not develop properly with age and is often not
brought into the parent’s attention till the child developed weak ankles. Weak
ankles are when the child’s ankles seem to be protruding inwards while walking.
Experts do not recommend any special treatment or special footwear for flatfeet
till it becomes painful for the child to walk or play sports.
2. 2. Toe walking
As the child learns to walk, it also explores, at the age of about two years
old, walking on toes. Though in normal cases, this habit goes away by the
age of three years old but in some kids, it continues beyond that and
dominates the normal walking posture. This is when the best orthopedic
doctor in Patna raises concern because persistent toe walking or walking
on one leg may be a symptom of some other serious condition such as
muscle, autism, or other nervous system problems.
3. Pigeon Toes
In toeing is normal with kids when they have just started walking and experts
often call it as pigeon toes. However, sometimes persistent pigeon toeing may be
due to a serious condition such as femoral anteversion, in which a bend in the
upper part of the leg causes the upper leg to rotate inward or may be related to
an existing medical condition such as cerebral palsy.
3. 4. Bow legs
Bow leggedness is the outward bending of the legs from the knees down. This
condition can either be inherited or sometimes experts at hospitals in Patna
have observed that it is common in infants and corrects itself with time without
any serious problems. It requires attention when its restricted to one side or is
getting worse after the age of 2 years old.
5. Knock-knees
A moderate level of knock-knees is common beforethe age of 6 years old. Experts
at a well-known orthopedic hospital like to consider this as an alignment
process and corrects with time.
