What is Barlow in the Context of Neonatal Disorders?
Barlow refers to the Barlow Maneuver, a clinical test used to identify hip dysplasia in newborns. Hip dysplasia, also known as developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH), is a condition where the hip joint is improperly formed, leading to potential dislocation or improper growth. The Barlow maneuver is essential in the early detection of this condition.
