Normal gait was present in both 13% of Ponseti and PT feet.<br />

Discussion<br />

Although gait <strong>de</strong>viations were still seen in this study, results are superior to those of operated<br />

clubfeet. [9] PT feet had a ten<strong>de</strong>ncy toward less DF and increased internal rotation. The sagittal<br />

plane findings have led our center and others to adopt early release of the gastrocsoleus. We<br />

now anticipate better ankle motion in future patients. Internal rotation was also more frequent<br />

in the PT group, likely because the Ponseti group uses a nighttime abduction bar until age 3<br />

yrs. The importance of increased DF seen in some Ponseti feet remains uncertain. Whether this<br />

is a pre<strong>de</strong>cessor to calcaneus gait, or whether ankle range of motion will diminish with time is<br />

unknown.<br />
