No evidence for mild and severe gait deviations could be demonstrated. Internal moments, used as a surrogate measure of joint loading, quantified by the multi-segment foot model were found to be similar within the three subanalyses. We suggest that the ongoing musculoskeletal development in children compensates for structural damage to the ankle joint.
