Background. According to the data from the World Health Organization, the condition of children's feet is unsatisfactory. An effective solution to this problem requires the development of pedagogic and health correction technologies, the basis of which should consist of the joint effort of orthopedists, coaches and the family, founded on the advice of orthopedists, therapeutic swimming and corrective gymnastics. The aim of this research is to study the effectiveness of the technology of orthopedist-coach-parent joint activity in correcting foot problems in children between the ages of 11 and 12. Material and methods. The condition of the locomotor system in children was assessed using the plantographic method. In order to correct foot disorders, a program was developed whose effectiveness was studied in a scientific pedagogical experiment. Results. As a result of the pedagogical experiment, the indicators of the first degree of flat feet of all 5 children in the experimental group were significantly reduced, and no significant improvement was recorded in the control group. Conclusions. The results of the research showed that the correction of deviations in the locomotor system is more effective if it is carried out as a result of collaboration between the orthopedist, a coach and parents, using therapeutic swimming and corrective gymnastics, as well as maintaining the orthopedic regime.

“…No article to date has provided evidence to justify the treatment of flexible, asymptomatic flatfeet; therefore, caution should be exercised when deciding to treat this condition. Plantar orthosis, sometimes combined with foot exercises, is debatable as an efficient mechanism to improve the plantar arch [38][39][40][41][42][43][44]; however, this can relieve medial arch pain associated with flatfoot [40,41].…”

Pediatric Flatfoot: Is There a Need for Surgical Referral?

Pediatric foot deformities are a common finding, concerning up to 44% of preschool aged children. The absence of accepted international guidelines, as well as heterogeneity in definitions and measurements, makes management of pediatric flatfoot a challenge, and decisions surrounding specialized care referral confusing and biased. The objective of this narrative review is to provide guidance to primary care physicians treating these patients. A non-systematic review of the literature regarding the development, etiology, and clinical and radiographic assessment of flatfeet using the PubMed and Cochrane Library databases was performed. The exclusion criteria for the review were adult populations, papers detailing the outcome of a specific surgical procedure, and publications prior to 2001. The included articles showed great heterogeneity in definition and proposed management, which makes the study of pediatric flatfoot challenging. Flatfoot is a common finding in children under 10 years old, and should not be considered pathological unless stiffness or functional limitation are present. Surgical referral should be reserved to children with stiff or painful flatfoot, while simple observation is indicated for flexible, asymptomatic flatfeet.
