Cross-legged sitting for children with hip dysplasia
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
This study looks at whether sitting with legs crossed (cross-legged sitting) can help improve hip joint development in children with hip dysplasia in one hip. It aims to see if this simple position change can be an effective part of treatment for young children.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be at least 9 months old and not older than 10 years.
- You must have hip dysplasia (a hip joint that doesn't form properly) in only one hip.
- You must be generally healthy and free from major medical conditions.
- You cannot have a history of neurological (brain or nerve) problems.
- You cannot have had any previous surgery on your legs or feet.
- You cannot have leg deformities, flat feet, or a high body mass index (being significantly overweight).

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study compares two treatments for a condition called borderline hip dysplasia, where the hip socket is slightly too shallow, causing pain. It aims to see whether arthroscopic surgery or non-surgical care (like physical therapy) works better for relieving symptoms.
This trial is a worldwide registry that collects information from children with hip dysplasia or who are at higher risk. It helps researchers understand who is affected and how hip evaluations are done, which can improve future care.
This trial compares a structured exercise and patient education program with standard care in people with hip dysplasia. It may help improve hip and groin pain and function, especially if you are not getting the usual surgery (periacetabular osteotomy, or PAO).
This trial tests a surgery to help guide the growth of the hip bone in children with cerebral palsy whose hips are at risk of slipping out of place. The goal is to prevent hip dislocation and avoid more complex surgery later.
This study uses MRI scans before and after hip socket surgery to measure how the surgery changes the shape and size of the hip joint. It helps doctors understand which surgical technique works best for children with hip dysplasia (a condition where the hip socket doesn't fully cover the thighbone).
This study looks at babies under 3 months old with certain ultrasound findings of an underdeveloped hip (“hip dysplasia”). It compares outcomes between simply watching the hip and using a brace (when recommended).
