Abstract:
The authors describe the podiatric biomechanical management of the child and adolescent with Down syndrome. They also present an overview of the genetics, general characteristics, orthopedic problems, and gait of these patients. They discuss the various approaches to the biomechanical problems associated with the syndrome, and present two case histories that demonstrate common considerations in the treatment of the patient with Down syndrome.
