Samenvatting

Introduction
Idiopathic clubfoot patients show deviations in their gait patterns and other motor activities [1–4]. One of the most challenging motor activities for clubfoot patients is hopping on one leg [4–6]. Difficulty with one-leg-hopping might result from limitations in ankle mobility and plantarflexor force production in clubfoot patients [7]. This hypothesis has however not yet been investigated with detailed three-dimensional motion analysis.

Research question
What are the differences in ankle power and mobility during walking and one-leg-hopping in clubfoot patients and typically developing children of 5-to-9 years old?
