THE EFFICIENCY OF KINEZITHERAPY IN THE TREATMENT OF THE CLUBFOOT TILL
THE SURGICAL PERIOD.
SUMMARY
Clubfoot – is one of the common congenital deformation of skeleton-muscular system, wich
requires active treatment. It is one of the most frequent reasons for phisical incapability. The
incidence of clubfoot is approximately 1-2 cases per 1000 live births in the world, and 2 cases per
1000 – in Lithuania. 80 % of those cases are diagnosed in less economically developed countries.
The problem is relevant because investigators present different outcomes of treatment.
We couldn’t find any articles about kinezitherapy treating this deformation.
The aim of the objective was to evaluate the efficiency of kinezitherapy in the treatment of
clubfoot till the surgical period.
In order to achieve this object the following tasks were set:
To compare the function of the foot before and after kinezitherapy correction.
To identify parients opinions about the changes of the function of the foot.
To identify medical opinion about the changes of the function of the foot till the surgical
period.
Investigation included 8 children with clubfoot deformity before eight months of age. The
function of foot was evaluated by thr method of goniometry. Also, the qualitive research was done
by the method of phenomenography. In the qualitive research 3 parients of children and one doctor
were included.
After analysis done by mathematical statistics method the folowing conclution was done:
After kinezitherapy... [to full text]
