What this Trial Is About
Researchers are evaluating the health-related quality of life HRQoL in children aged 2 to 15 years who have congenital clubfoot and are treated mainly using the Ponseti method. This prospective observational study aims to understand how clubfoot and its treatment affect patients physical, emotional, and social well-being over time. Participants will be observed over a period of 5 years, with assessments at the start and during follow-ups. The study uses the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory PedsQL 4.0 to measure HRQoL and the PBS Clubfoot Score PBS to evaluate clinical outcomes. Additional assessments include pain and satisfaction evaluations. Children and their families will participate in regular follow-up visits where questionnaires and clinical scores will be collected. These visits will monitor changes in quality of life, clinical function, pain, and satisfaction related to clubfoot and its treatment. The total participation duration extends up to 5 years to capture long-term effects.
