16 yo girl with Rett Syndrome, a disorder which is characterised by an early period of normal motor development (in this patient until the age of 2 y), followed by a period of regression and intellectual disability with onset of repetitive hand-wringing (which can be seen on the frontal-plane movies). Gait usually wide-based, stiff-legged ± equinus. Small feet and scoliosis are associated deformities, with poor circulation in the lower-limbs. Sensation difficult to assess in view of the intellectual impairment, but it was noted that this patient did not seem to feel pain when her leg was scalded when she was 3 yo. Gait analysis performed while walking with assistance, with AFOs and FFOs fitted.
