Pediatric lower extremity splinting and bracing techniques.

Pediatric splinting and bracing techniques may be effectively used in the treatment of lower extremity rotational deformities. Early diagnosis coupled with the timely implementation of these techniques allows the practitioner to enhance normal development of the pediatric patient's lower extremities.

The use of gait plates for in-toed and out-toed deformities.

One of the most common pediatric abnormalities treated by podiatrists is an angle-of-gait disturbance. Prior to the initiation of treatment, it is imperative that the practitioner determines both the cause and extent of the problem. At this point, the practitioner will be able to determine what the most appropriate treatment should be. In-toe and out-toe gait plates provide an effective manner of altering a developing youngster's angle-of-gait problems and are capable of allowing the child to function and develop in a more normal fashion.

Biomechanical evaluation of the child.

This article attempts to provide a complete and systematic approach to conducting a thorough lower extremity biomechanical examination for the child. It is hoped that the material presented here will allow you, the practitioner, to conduct a thorough and relevant series of examination techniques. Once these techniques are perfected and performed efficiently, you will be capable of providing effective and appropriate care for your pediatric patients.
