Talipes Equinovarus (clubfoot)
Understanding limb related symptoms and features
Symptoms may affect multiple parts of the body. Understanding which part of the body a symptom affects can help us to better understand the potential underlying causes of a symptom, including a rare disease or genetic syndrome.
Limbs refer to the arms and legs of the body. They also include the hands and feet connected to the main limbs. Parts of the limbs include the fingers and toes, known as digits.
The limbs are an essential part of many different functions of the body, including movement, feeding, and other necessary daily skills. Symptoms and features affecting the development and functioning of the limbs may also impact these activities as well.
Generally, symptoms affecting the limbs may be seen with the naked eye. Although diagnosing a limb related symptom may involve different tests and assessments, both subjective and objective.
What is a Talipes Equinovarus (clubfoot)?
There are four main clinical features of a clubfoot:
1 - Inversion (turning in) of the forefoot
2 - Enversion ( turning out) of the heel and hindfoot
3 - Limited ability to extend the ankle and subtalar joint
4 - Internal rotation of the leg
It is considered to be a complex congenital condition, with many possible factors contributing to its cause.
