Recommendations for physiotherapy and physical activity for children with Legg-Calv é-Perthes disease: a survey of pediatric orthopedic surgeons and physiotherapists in Sweden

CONCLUSION: We found high agreement on recommending stretching exercises for all disease stages, but controversies regarding recommendations for strengthening exercises in the initial and fragmentation stages. No non-weightbearing treatment for the affected hip was recommended by any participants at any stage of the disease. There was no clear consensus regarding the appropriate timeline for resuming full activities.PMID:37592869 | PMC:PMC10436286 | DOI:10.2340/17453674.2023.18341
