| As an alternative to surgical management, the Ponseti technique has increasingly become the method of choice for the treatment of Congenital TalipesEquinovarus (CTEV). According to previous studies, the Ponseti technique reduces the need for intensive corrective surgery.Peak pressure, maximum force, pressure time integral, and force time integral are typical outcome measures recorded for the overall foot print or particular areas of the foot in pedobarographic research. Bowen described the most popular technique for foot segmentation in 1998, and it has since been used by many writers.The aim of this research was to see if there were any pedobarographic variations between children with CTEV who were treated with the Ponseti technique and those who were treated with a more conventional orthopaedic approach. There was also a comparison of these two groups with a traditionally established cohort.Plantar pressure analysis is an objective outcome assessment of the foot's dynamic loading that can be used in conjunction with other clinical and radiological findings to provide additional information about the biomechanics and structure of the foot in children with CTEV. To evaluate pedobarographic outcomes in people with CTEV, further research is needed to establish and validate different segmentation and analysis techniques. Changes in factors such as body weight, mobility, range of motion, and pain can have an effect on their pressure patterns as they grow older, so a follow-up assessment in this population when they attain skeletal maturity is recommendedddd |
