- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method The sensitivity and specificity of the acoustic tool in the detection of DDH of the hip. The assessment will involve an additional examination during routine ultrasound, which being is undertaken as part of the national selective screening program. In addition to the ultrasound examination, the child will have the prototype device applied (i.e. an external excitatory acoustic signal will be generated from an acoustic device that is placed on the knee. An external microphone will ‘listen’ and interpret the transmission of the acoustic signal across the hip, and any echoed back to the knee).
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method There are no secondary outcome measures
