Summary

The goal of this randomized controlled trial is to learn if Myofascial Release and Static Stretching combined with Nighttime Bracing can prevent long-term relapse of Ponseti-treated idiopathic clubfoot in children with idiopathic clubfoot. The main questions it aims to answer are:

Does the addition of Myofascial Release and Static Stretching to Nighttime Bracing reduce the rate of long-term relapse in Ponseti-treated clubfoot? Does this combined intervention improve long-term mobility and quality of life in children with idiopathic clubfoot?

Researcher will compare the group receiving Myofascial Release with night time bracing o the group receiving Static Stretching along with Nighttime to see the effect of both intervention reduces relapse rates and improves functional outcomes.

Participants will:

Receive Myofascial Release and Static Stretching therapy sessions Use Nighttime Bracing as prescribed Undergo follow-up assessments to evaluate relapse occurrence, mobility, and quality of life

Conditions
