In a consecutive series of 124 children with spina bifida we found that 220 (89%) of the 248 feet were deformed: 70 had a calcaneus deformity; 126 were in equinus; 16 were in valgus; 3 were in varus; and 5 had convex pes valgus. Operations were performed on 171 (78%) of the deformed feet. Spasticity of the muscles controlling the foot was detected in 36 (51%) of the 70 calcaneus feet and in 22 (17%) of the 126 equinus feet. The deformities were symmetrical in 94 children. There is a high incidence of foot deformity in patients with spina bifida who have no voluntary activity in the motors of the feet.
在连续的124例脊柱裂患儿中，我们发现248只脚中有220只（89%）存在畸形：70只患有跟骨畸形；126只呈马蹄足；16只呈外翻；3只呈内翻；5只呈凸形外翻足。对171只（78%）畸形脚进行了手术。在70只跟骨畸形脚中的36只（51%）以及126只马蹄足中的22只（17%）中检测到控制足部的肌肉痉挛。94名患儿的畸形是对称的。在足部运动无自主活动的脊柱裂患者中，足部畸形的发生率很高。
