Problems and management of the rearfoot in neuromuscular disease. A report of ten cases

E Sobel and RJ Giorgini
Division of Orthopedic Sciences, New York College of Podiatric Medicine, New York, USA.

Neuromuscular disease commonly affects the rearfoot as equinus, equinovarus, and equinovalgus deformity. Spastic hemiplegia caused by stroke, head injury, and cerebral palsy results in equinovarus deformity of the rearfoot. Spastic diplegia, most frequently caused by cerebral palsy, results in equinovalgus rearfoot deformity. Problems in ambulation, footwear, and bracing, as well as their orthopedic management, in patients with neuromuscular disease are discussed in a case-report format.
