Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
* age from 1 to 15 * Patients with severe neuromuscular disease * Patients who agreed to participate in the study * Hip dislocation more than 10% (migration index)
Exclusion criteria
* If do not agree with the study * Those who are determined to be difficult to participate under the judgment of the research director * History of hip joint surgery
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Migration index | 6 months | Hip AP radiography |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Visual analog scale | 6 months | measure the pain expressed by score from 0 to 10. The closer to 10, the higher the pain. |
| Cobb's angle (') | 6 months | using radiography, expressed by degree from 0' to 180'. The closer to 0', the better the value. |
| Range of motion of hip joint (') | 6 months | Using goniometer, measure the hip and knee abduction and flexion angle expressed by degree from 0' to 180'. The closer to 180', the better the value. |
| Likert scale (score) | immediately after wearing orthosis | measure the satisfaction about hip protection orthosis expressed by score from 0 to 5. The closer to 5, the higher the satisfaction. |
| Child Health Index of Life with Disabilities (CPCHILD) | 6 months | measure the quality of life expressed by score from 0 to 100. The higher the quality of life. |
