Abstract
Clinical observation suggests that deformities of the foot and ankle are co mmon in children with cerebral palsy. Two hundred children with cerebral pa lsy attending the Central Remedial Clinic were examined and photographed. T he children had no previous surgical intervention and were between 1.5 and 19 years of age. Deformities were assessed and related to the type of cereb ral palsy and mobility status.
