Clubfoot, is a common congenital musculoskeletal abnormality that impacts the ability to move. It is estimated that 40 to 50 children per million inhabitants are born with clubfoot each year in Cameroon. To strengthen the adoption of evidence-based practices and improve patient outcomes, several strategies have been proposed and the Ponseti method has been adopted as the EBP by the Cameroonian Ministry of Public Health. This study aims to investigate the situational analysis of EBP in the management of typical clubfoot by physiotherapists in Cameroon and to bridge the gap between evidence-based guidelines and their practical applications.A cross-sectional survey was conducted online among 167 practicing physiotherapists in Cameroon over a period from April to June 2024. The implementation of EBP on the management of typical club foot is not really effective in practice among physiotherapists in Cameroon, despite everyone's desire to get involved ardently. The obstacles that hinder or constitute barriers to the implementation of EBP among physiotherapists in Cameroon are the lack of standardized initial training, the lack of time and information and limited resources.
