Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

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).

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Femoral anteversion is defined as the angle formed by the femoral condyles plane (bicondylar plane) and a plane passing through the center of the neck and femoral head. Toe-in-gait pattern may be due to foot deformity (metatarsus adductus) and / or abnormal transverse alignment of long bones (tibial torsion and / or increased femoral anteversion). Transverse plane deviations are frequently seen in infants and usually improve with typical physiological growth mechanisms. Persistent transverse plan disorder may lead to gait dysfunction. The most important function of the posture is to maintain the balance during the initiation and continuation of the movement. Postural control regulates maintaining the balance and keeping the center of gravity within the body's stability limits. It includes resistance to gravity forces and mechanical support during movement. Postural control is an integral part of achieving targeted action. To our knowledge the relationship between increased femoral anteversion and postural control in healthy children has not been studied in the current literature. Postural control in children with increased femoral anteversion was evaluated by computerized posturography. In this study, we aimed to evaluate postural control in children with increased femoral anteversion using computerized dynamic posturography (Biodex Balance System).

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Children with increased femoral anteversion

After the demographic information, developmental history and gait information were recorded with the Evaluation Form, clinical evaluation was performed; bilateral lower extremity range of motion, flexibility, leg length measurement, and muscle strength measurement and muscular endurance tests (abdominal, back and lower extremity) will be performed. For the clinical evaluation of postural control, the Modified Balance Error Scoring System (BESS) and the Biodex Balance System for computerized evaluation will be used.
