Clubfoot, or congenital Talipes Equinovarus (CTEV), is a condition where a baby is born with one or both feet twisted inward and downward due to abnormal fetal foot development. Its estimated global prevalence is 1 in 1,000 live births, varying across populations. Relapsed clubfoot, a recurrence after initial correction, may occur due to incomplete treatment, noncompliance, muscle imbalance, or natural growth. Treatment involves surgical and non-surgical interventions, including soft tissue releases, osteotomies, and external fixation devices. The Ponseti method, a non-surgical approach, is commonly used in infants, with post-treatment physiotherapy focusing on three phases to optimize foot function. This holistic approach aims to achieve the best long-term outcomes for children with clubfoot. This 6-month randomized clinical trial at PSRD Hospital aims to assess the effectiveness of three-phase physical therapy versus conventional physiotherapy in treating clubfoot. With a sample size of 19 participants and a 10% attrition rate, the study involves children aged 3-10 previously treated with the Ponseti method. Data collection includes, one-leg standing and sit-to stand tests, Pirani score and the Oxford Ankle Foot Questionnaire. The three-phase therapy consists of joint mobilization, kinesio taping, and functional exercises over three months, with a focus on improving balance and proprioception.
