Slipped Capital Femoral Epiphysis (SCFE) treated with one screw in situ fixation results in an altered gait. It is thought that the protraction of the pelvis at the affected side, seen in patients with unilateral stable SCFE, is a compensatory mechanism to reduce out-toeing and thereby improve foot positioning during gait. This study will evaluate this hypothesis since only a few studies are conducted evaluating gait in treated SCFE. It is also thought that this pathology results in an impaired balance. Computer Assisted Rehabilitation Environment (CAREN) will be used to investigate these two questions.
