Abstract

Every child with a neuromotor disorder is at risk for the development or a deterioration of foot deformities. This relates to central and peripheral diseases. Almost any kind of deformity may occur. As the basic problems mostly remain, a multidisciplinary team care program is necessary in addition to surgical management of the feet. Surgery must respect any muscle imbalance as well as joint deformities and instabilities. Postoperative orthotic support supplements most treatments. Long-term follow-ups are strongly advised to detect any recurrences or overcorrections.
