Detailed Description: Detailed Description: Using Tekscan's HRMat Pressure assessment system the distribution of force will be measured across the plantar surface of the subject%u2019 foot. The system is comprised of a 50 cm square pressure sensor connected to a computer interface. The data collection will be made up of two parts: Part I: Static Profile: The child will be asked to stand on the mat for 6 seconds for five trials. During this time the data collection software will collect force data across the foot 60 times per second. The software will then calculate centre of force as well as changes in pressure during the static trial. The foot will be assessed into the distribution of forces across the hindfoot, midfoot, forefoot, and the big toe. In addition, the centre of gravity will also be determined. Part II: Dynamic Profile: The dynamic test will involve the child walking across the mat for a total of 5 passes per foot. Measurements of force will again be taken at 60 Hz. Eligibility
Criteria Inclusion Criteria: Inclusion criteria %u2013 all clubfoot patients seen at BC Children%u2019s Hospital who have commenced walking and compliant to the study protocol. As the goal of the study is to evaluate the utility of pedobarographs in evaluating clubfoot treatment, we will be following subjects with all presentations of clubfoot (this includes idiopathic clubfoot and clubfoot that is secondary to another global disorder).
