Abstract
The rotational profile of 265 children age 4-8 years who were born at the gestational age of less than or equal to 30 weeks and were nursed prone for several months after birth showed a marked outtoeing gait up to the age of 6 years. Their positive thigh-foot angles were significantly higher than those of the general population. These angles indicate that their outtoeing gaits were caused by marked external tibial rotation.
