One of the most common infant developmental diseases is Hip dysplasia which is mostly seen among female' babies and leads to hip instability due to partial or full hip dislocation [1]. Physical therapy's role plays a significant role in treating hip dysplasia by creating new walking habits as an adaptation way and compensation for the deformity [3]. Focusing on the muscles that produce hip abduction force is a basic item of the hip dysplasia rehabilitation program [4]. Cross-legged sitting position can be considered as a common and easy position that might enhance the range of motion of the lower limb joints [5].
While unilateral hip developmental dysplasia has been widely distributed among newborns, especially in the last few years, the role of engaging the cross-legged sitting technique as a part of physical therapy and rehabilitation programs on improving the temporospatial parameters, muscular electrical activity and foot pressure distributing is still not clear. Therefore, this study aimed to analyze the effects of engaging the cross-legged sitting technique as a part of physical therapy and rehabilitation program among patients with UHDD by comparing the group who participated in rehabilitation program with CLS to the other without.
To understand the importance of including Cross-legged sitting technique in physical therapy and rehabilitation program of Unilateral Hip Developmental Dysplasia (UHDD) to enhance the spatial and temporal measures, achieving a healthy distribution of foot pressure, increasing the electrical activity of lower limb muscles and improving the overall gait pattern.

Weight in kilograms divided by height in metres squared. Example: 70 kg and 1.75 m gives 70 ÷ (1.75 × 1.75) ≈ 22.9.
What counts as overweight or obesity differs between countries (some use lower cut-offs), so go by the range the study states.

Start is estimated for Jun 2025; primary completion for Dec 2025, 6 months later.
Of 20 interventional studies with no phase under Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip, half reached primary completion within 28 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 13 and three quarters within 45. This study's planned 6 months is below that.
