There are many different treatments of congenital talipes equinovarus. At our institution, the investigators use the Ponseti method with manipulation and immobilization of the foot. In this study the investigators should like to demonstrate the better outcome in clinical results and in gait analysis of patients treated with the Ponseti method, compared to the 'older' methods of taping and posteromedial release.
