This study aimed to analyze the perceptions of parents of children with clubfoot regarding the Ponseti method of treatment, and identify aspects of treatment that families found most difficult. Thirty families of children with clubfoot were treated with the Ponseti method over a 4-year period, and questionnaires were distributed at the conclusion of treatment. The most difficult components of treatment were identified. However, these challenges did not impact treatment outcome negatively. We hypothesize that a strong physician-patient relationship and high levels of parental education may decrease perceived difficulties of treatment with the Ponseti method.
本研究旨在分析马蹄内翻足患儿家长对庞塞蒂治疗方法的看法，并确定家庭认为治疗中最困难的方面。在4年期间，30名马蹄内翻足患儿家庭接受了庞塞蒂方法治疗，治疗结束时发放了问卷。确定了治疗中最困难的部分。然而，这些挑战并未对治疗结果产生负面影响。我们推测，良好的医患关系和高水平的家长教育可能会减少庞塞蒂方法治疗中所感受到的困难。
