Brief Summary

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).

Conditions

Femoral Anteversion; Gait Disorders in Children; Postural Control; Postural Stability; Balance

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (4)

• Postural control-postural stability

  Computerized test of postural stability with Biodex Balance System

  1 day

• Postural control-limits of stability

  Computerized test of limits of stability with Biodex Balance System

  1 day

• Postural control-sensory integration

  Computerized test of sensory integration with Biodex Balance System

  1 day

• Balance Error Scorring System-BESS

  Clinical evaluation of postural control

  1 day

Study Arms (2)

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.

Other: Biodex Balance System; Other: Balance Error Scoring System (BESS)
