Background: This systematic review and meta-analysis provides an overview of the effectiveness of orthoses for flexible flatfeet in terms of patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) in children and adults. Methods: Electronic databases were searched for studies comparing PROMs at baseline and follow-up in an orthoses versus control group. Methodological quality of the studies was assessed and a meta-analysis was performed if there were multiple studies with the same PROM.Results: Four randomized controlled trials (RCTs) in children (N=353) and four RCTs and one prospective study in adults (N=268) were included. There was considerable heterogeneity between studies. A meta-analysis demonstrated that pain reduction between baseline and follow-up was significantly larger in the orthoses (N=167) than in the control groups in adults (N=157; p=0.05). Conclusion: Due to heterogeneity in study designs we cannot conclude that foot orthoses are useful for flexible flatfoot in children and adults. However, based on the meta-analysis orthoses might be useful in decreasing pain in adults.

Background: Flat Foot also known as pes planus is the condition wherein the curvature of the medial longitudinal arch is flatter than the normal with entire sole of the foot comes in contact to the ground. These could be because of factors such as muscle weakness, ligament laxity, failure in development of reflexes even after the child starts walking, if left untreated this may lead to complications including the foot pain, frequent falls, impaired gait and can affect the quality of life too. Objective: The objective of the study was to compare the effects of Kinesiotaping and Short Foot Exercises on children with functional flat feet. Method: 30 students were selected for the study according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria and were divided into Group A and Group B. The individuals in Group A received Kinesio-taping along with short foot exercises and the individuals in Group B received the short foot exercises. Results: Both the groups showed improvement in navicular drop test and the foot posture index but individuals in group B treated with kinesio-taping and short foot exercises showed more statistical significance. Conclusion: The study concluded that kinesio- taping along with short foot exercises was found to be effective as a treatment plan for children with functional flat feet aged 6-12 years.

Background This systematic review and meta-analysis examined the effectiveness of orthoses for flexible flatfeet in terms of patient-reported outcomes in children and adults. Methods EMBASE, Medline (OvidSP), Web-of-Science, Scopus, CINAHL, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Clinical Trials, i.e., Cochrane Central and Pubmed were searched to identify relevant studies since their inception up to February 2021. We included randomized controlled trials (RCT) and prospective studies in which patient reported outcomes at baseline and follow-up in an orthoses group were compared with a no orthoses or sham sole group. Methodological quality of the studies was assessed using the Revised Cochrane risk-of-bias tool for randomized trials (RoB 2) and the Risk Of Bias In Non-Randomized Studies of Interventions (ROBINS-I). A meta-analysis was performed where there were multiple studies with the same outcome measures, which was the case for the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) for pain in adults. Results In total nine studies were included: four RCT in children (N = 353) and four RCT and one prospective study in adults (N = 268) were included. There was considerable heterogeneity between studies. A meta-analysis demonstrated that pain reduction between baseline and follow-up was significantly larger in the orthoses (N = 167) than in the control groups in adults (N = 157; − 4.76, 95% CI [− 9.46, − 0.06], p0.05). Conclusion Due to heterogeneity in study designs, we cannot conclude that foot orthoses are useful for flexible flatfoot in children and adults. However, based on the meta-analysis orthoses might be useful in decreasing pain in adults. The authors did not receive support from any organization for the submitted work.
