Sorry, I thought I had made that clear. Yes DF and PF are restricted
perhaps only about 10 degrees from the fixed position. Other joint ROM
appear normal although it's difficult to be exact with ST movement in a six-
year-old with a rigid ankle joint. No problems with mid-tarsal or forefoot
joint ROM.
Otherwise she is a lovely healthy girl with no history of trauma or
infection. No oedema, inflamation or other symptoms whatsoever. Whilst I
agree that manipulation by mum is probably the best way forward, I was
hoping to find out what the primary aetiology was. Any ideas?
Thanks for your interest.
Mark
