Assessment of lower-extremity alignment in the transverse plane: implications for management of children with neuromotor dysfunction

BD Cusick and WA Stuberg

Lucille Packard Children's Hospital, Stanford, Palo Alto, CA 94304.

The authors present nine clinical assessment procedures designed to detect factors contributing to transverse-plane structural and joint alignment abnormality in children with neuromotor dysfunction. Where applicable, each assessment is accompanied by a discussion of the normal features of pediatric lower-extremity torsional and rotational alignment; limitations of the assessment procedures as regards reliability, specificity, and age-related normative findings; and clinical management suggestions. The authors urge clinical evaluators to expand the existing knowledge base.
