Diagnosis typically involves a thorough clinical evaluation, including:
1. History Taking: Assessing the child's birth history, developmental milestones, and any family history of gait issues. 2. Physical Examination: Observing the child’s gait, checking for muscle strength, joint mobility, and neurological function. 3. Imaging Studies: X-rays, MRI, or CT scans may be needed to visualize bone and soft tissue structures. 4. Gait Analysis: Using motion capture technology to analyze the walking pattern in detail.
