Document Summary
Pic 1: position of the femoral head with the foot straight. Pic 2: most patients with excessive femoral a(cid:374)teroversio(cid:374) (cid:862)i(cid:374)-toe(cid:863) to better positio(cid:374) the fe(cid:373)oral head. Adult level of femoral head coverage achieved by. By 7yrs kinematic features similar to adults. Joint torque and propulsion patterns in walking similar to adult pattern. Com still slightly higher than adult at approx. As the child grows the long bones change in length and girth. Rotational, torsional or angular may occur at the hip and knee. Hyper-flexibility in multiple joints usually symptomless. May be associated with syndrome eg down s(cid:455)(cid:374)d(cid:396)o(cid:373)e, ma(cid:396)fa(cid:374)(cid:859)s. Recurring pain in multiple joints, pain in muscles, or fatigue known as joint hypermobility syndrome (jhs) same as ehlers-danlos syndrome (hypermobile type) In jhs, important to look after joints and maintain physical fitness. Objective evaluation of muscle strength in infants with hypotonia and muscle weakness (reus et al 2013) - Avery et al (2003) maximal strength testing in healthy.
