Abstract
Lower limb torsion of 50normal children were examined clinically, assessed and classified based on age groups. Tibial and femoral torsion were assessed individually, as gait pattern can vary because of alterations in them. In this study, the torsion of lower limbs were measured clinically by assessing the femoral torsion, the transmalleolar axis and the thigh foot axis. The gait pattern was assessed using foot progression angle and heel bisector angle for deformities of the foot. All the children were put into 3 groups based on age and the values of measured torsion varied in each group. Normal variations is to be known for better management and prognosis
