Distinguishing the Influences of Increased Femoral Anteversion From Hypermobility During Walking For Neurologically Intact Individuals

Abstract

Increased femoral anteversion (IFA) is a transverse plane problem that may lead to alterations on lower body kinematics during walking (1,2). IFA and hypermobility syndrome are commonly seen together in healthy individuals (3). Therefore, describing the pure effects of IFA related gait parameters is very difficult for children with hypermobility and IFA together.
