About

To Check the effects of the low dye taping technique versus the Robert Debre method on foot posture and range of motion in children with club feet.

Full description

This study was a Randomized clinical trial. It was carried out in the physiotherapy department of children hospital Lahore,those patients were taken who had congenital clubfoot.40 patients were taken with the predetermined inclusive and exclusive criteria through non probability convenience sampling technique.All participants informed about the study,Group A received Low Dye taping Technique 2 times in a week for 6 weeks,while the group B received the Robert Debre Methpod daily 30 minutes session for total 6 weeks.Foot posture, range of motion and gait will be assessed by Demiglio bensahel and pirani scoring system with the help of goniometer and compared the results.Data analyzed by SPSS 25.0 statistical software. After checking the normality of data nonparametric tests applied to check the difference between and within the groups.

Robert Debre Method

Experimental group

Description:

This second group also contains 20 participents.French functional method is similar to the Ponseti method. In this technique, the patient undergoes 30-minute daily session for 2 weeks and then twice a week until achieving foot correction. It consists of stretching of triceps surae to improve tibio-talar joint function. daily manipulations of the newborn's foot, stimulation and strenghtening of the muscles around the foot (particularly the peroneal muscles) and temporary immobilization of the foot with elastic and nonelastic adhesive taping so that the reduction achieved by.
