Biomechanical evaluation of health visitor training in baby hip testing for developmental dysplasia of the hip

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

The aim of this study was to examine the performance of health visitors in the clinical testing for signs of hip dysplasia. A kinesiological method was devised to help analyse neonatal hip manoeuvres first described by Ortolani in 1937. The apparatus comprised miniature force, displacement and rotational transducers attached to a training doll. Nine health visitors were assessed before and after a 2-hour teaching session. Improvements were evident in the measures with a concurrent improvement in diagnostic accuracy.
