ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying a tool called the PBS-score to see how well it can predict whether children with clubfoot will need more treatment in the future. Clubfoot is a condition where a child's foot is twisted out of shape, and the goal of this study is to help doctors understand which children might be more likely to need additional care after their initial treatment.

To participate in this trial, children must be between 4 and 10 years old, have been diagnosed with idiopathic clubfoot (which means it’s not caused by another syndrome), and be able to walk and communicate in English or Swedish. The trial is currently looking for participants, and families can expect to be involved in assessments that will help determine how useful the PBS-score is in managing their child's condition. This research could lead to better treatment plans and outcomes for children with clubfoot in the future.
