title: The hopscotch position. A screening test.
abstract: The author discusses an examination method that is performed in a matter of seconds by either the physician or the parent. When the child is placed in a specific "hopscotch" position, otherwise obscure leg and foot deformities become readily apparent, and early treatment is then made possible.
