Rehabilitation of Talipes Valgus in Children with Cerebral Palsy / 实用儿科临床杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To explore the clinical significance of the footprints and lateral X-rays in weight loading in evaluating the rehabilitation of talipes valgus in the children with cerebral palsy.Methods One hundred footprints of 56 children who were cerebral palsy with talipes valgus in the hospital-community-family-based rehabilitation mode were divided into light,middle and heavy types,and they were counted with two footprint-based approaches,and the two approaches were compared with chi-square criterion,and the dependability on consequence of the footprint and lateral X-rays in weight loading were analyzed.Results One hundred feet evaluated by the method of footprint were flatfeet radically,and the occurrence of flatfoot evaluated by three define lines were 11,57,32,respectively,and evaluated by footprint ratio were 6,7,87,respectively,but the degrees were different with two footprint-based approaches.There was a close correlation between two footprint-based approaches and lateral X-rays in weight loading.Conclusions Flat foot caused by talipes valgus can be evaluated by footprint in static state,while the development of bones of foot and the constitution of instep can be monitored on the lateral X-rays in weight loading.
