Summary

Midfoot and backfoot deformities are well described in children with Cerebral palsy. However, data regarding forefoot deformities in Cerebral palsy remain scarce in a population were foot deformities are the most frequent musculo-skeletal deformities.

Detailed description

Foot deformities are the most frequent musculo-skeletal deformities in children with Cerebral palsy. Pain starts in the foot, especially during gait in Cerebral Palsy Children (GMFCS I and II) and induce gait limitations, balance disorders, wounds, aesthetic disorders and difficulties to support shoes. Metatarsus Adductus is the most common foot deformity in children with or without disorder, occuring on 1-2/1000 births. In 4 to 14% of the children, evolution is not favorable at 5 years. In that case, the diagnostic of Cerebral palsy have to be considered.
