Abstract
Preterm infants often develop a postural deformation of the legs with wide hip abduction and external rotation giving a 'frog leg' posture. It has been shown that the deformation persists at the age of 3-4.5 years and the use of postural techniques aimed at reducing the deformation is recommended.Entities:
