Vermehrter Innenrotationsgang re. bei vermehrter femoraler Antetorsion re.

Alessa kann einen einseitigen Najada-Sitz vormachen, d.h., die Innenrotationsfähigkeit beträgt über 50 Grad, im kontralateralen li. Hüftgelenk lediglich 75 Grad.

Any ideas?

W-sitting//W sitting position

'W-sitting' or W sitting position is the translation for 'Najadensitz'; but I'm not sure about the "einseitig" - maybe unilateral or half? But I haven't found reliable references for that.

Femoral Anteversion: Management
Gait is often worse when running or when fatigued

Children prefer the “W” sitting position because it is more comfortable…should not be discouraged or avoided

Können Sie die femorale Antetorsion erklären?
Verstehen Sie, von wo aus gesehen der Schenkelhals
nach vorne gedreht ist? Ist er gedreht
oder gekippt?
Dass die «Antetorsion» in direktem Zusammenhang
mit dem kindlichen Einwärtsgang und der
Fähigkeit zum «Najadensitz» steht, wusste ich
bereits.
