Abstract
Objective: To determine the effect of leg rotation control splint on rotational gait pattern in children with hemiplegia. Subjects and methods: Thirty hemiplegic children with out-toeing gait pattern ranged in age from 24 to 60 months participated in this study. They were randomly divided into two groups of equal numbers. The control group received a designed physiotherapy program for 60 minutes in addition to gait training for 30 minutes while the study group received the same physiotherapy program while wearing the leg rotation control splint during gait training. Craig{u2019}s test and foot progression angle were used to measure femoral anteversion and toe out angles respectively. Each child was assessed before treatment (pre) and after 3 months post treatment (post). Results: Within group comparison showed non-statistically significant difference in the rotational profile parameters. While, there was significant improvement in all measured spatiotemporal parameters except step width in the two groups. Post treatment comparison showed non-statistically significant difference between the two groups. Conclusion: application of leg rotation control splint didn{u2019}t change lower limb rotational profile
