This trial compares two surgical tools—a standard surgical blade and a special ophthalmic knife—for cutting the Achilles tendon in children aged 2 to 5 with clubfoot. The goal is to see which tool improves ankle movement more and causes fewer problems like bleeding or infection. …

This study tested a new, less invasive surgery for children aged 4 to 10 with a stubborn clubfoot deformity called 'bean-shaped foot.' Instead of cutting bones, surgeons placed a small metal plate across a joint in the foot to gently guide growth and straighten the foot over time…

This study looked at 32 children with clubfoot who were already treated with the Ponseti method. Researchers wanted to see if adding myofascial release and static stretching to nighttime bracing could prevent the foot from relapsing. The children received therapy sessions and wer…

This study tested two numbing methods for a common clubfoot procedure in infants: a needle-free jet injection that works in 1-2 minutes versus a topical cream that takes 30 minutes. Researchers measured pain using a standard scale, heart rate, and oxygen levels in 107 babies. The…

This completed study looked at 151 children with common postural conditions like flat feet, knock knees, or scoliosis. Researchers used wearable motion sensors and clinical tests to measure balance and motor control, then compared the results to healthy children. The goal was to …

This completed study involved 55 children with clubfoot who could walk. Researchers showed videos of the children's feet to experienced surgeons and asked for treatment recommendations. The goal was to see if a video-based scoring system (PBS-score) matches what surgeons would re…

This study looked at whether doctors can reliably score clubfoot severity from video recordings instead of in-person exams. 55 children with clubfoot were assessed by multiple raters using a standard scoring tool. The goal was to see if video assessments could be a trustworthy op…
