The Investigation of the Effects of Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation Applications on the Hip and Defined Functional Parameters in Children With Developmental Hip Dysplasia

Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) is a condition that can lead to disability in children and often results in the need for hip replacement surgery at a younger age. In infants older than one year, treatment becomes challenging due to issues like tight soft tissues around the joint and bone structure problems. This study focuses on children aged 2 to 5 years with DDH and examines how physical therapy and rehabilitation can improve hip function and strength. By understanding the impact of these therapies, the study aims to enhance treatment strategies and improve the quality of life for affected children. Participants in the study will undergo physical therapy designed to strengthen the muscles around the hip and improve joint function. Researchers will measure changes in muscle strength and hip stability by looking at specific angles and tension in the hip region. Although there are no specific risks mentioned, the study aims to provide insights that could lead to better management of DDH through non-surgical means, potentially reducing the need for more invasive procedures like surgery.
