<unk>  is diagnosed through physical examination. Typically, babies are examined from head-to-toe shortly after they are born. There are four components of the<unk>  deformity: + 1 frameless Cavus: the foot has a high arch, or a caved appearance. 2 frameless Adductus: the forefoot curves inwards toward the big toe. 3 frameless Varus: the heel is inverted, or turned in, forcing one to walk on the outside of the foot. This is a natural motion but in<unk>  the foot is fixed in this position. 4 frameless Equinus: the foot is pointed downward, forcing one to walk on tiptoe. This motion occurs naturally, but in<unk>  the foot is fixed in this position. This is because the Achilles tendon is tight and pulls the foot downwards. Factors used to assess severity include the stiffness of the deformity (how much it can be corrected by manually manipulating the foot), the presence of skin creases at the arch and heel, and poor muscle consistency. Sometimes, it is possible to detect<unk>  before birth using ultrasound. Prenatal diagnosis by ultrasound can allow parents to learn more about this condition and plan ahead for treatment after their baby is born. More testing and imaging is typically not needed, unless there is concern for other associated conditions.
