“…The developmental journey, particularly from the first to the seventh year of life [4][5][6], with some researchers extending this period to the eighth or ninth year [7], emerges as a crucial phase. During this period, there is a pivotal emphasis on neuromuscular coordination and sensory integration, establishing a solid foundation for postural balance [8].…”

This study aimed to investigate the impact of an 8-week aerobic dance intervention on postural balance in children. Forty-one children, aged 9 to 11, were randomly assigned to either an aerobic dance group (ADG) or a control group (CG) from a primary school. Postural balance was assessed using center of pressure (CoP) excursions before and after the 8-week intervention period. Evaluations were conducted on both firm and foam surfaces in bipedal and unipedal stances under open-eyes (OE) and closed-eyes (CE) conditions, as well as on both medial–lateral (ML) and anterior–posterior (AP) surfaces in a bipedal stance under OE conditions. The ADG exhibited significantly decreased CoPVm values during firm bipedal CE, unipedal OE, foam bipedal OE and CE, and foam unipedal OE (p < 0.005). This study suggests that aerobic dance intervention improved postural balance in children, showcasing adaptability and improved stability under various conditions.

Background: Flatfoot can alter the foot's ability to uniformly distribute the body weight on the plantar areas, possibly leading to biomechanical imbalances in the entire body. The purpose of the study was to determine the correlation between flatfoot and plantar pressure distribution in static conditions. (2) Material and methods: The study included a group of 23 children with flat feet (7.43±0.58 years old), which analyzed the correlations between the Foot Posture Index 6 (FPI 6) values and the plantar pressure distribution values. The instruments used were the Foot Posture Index 6 (FPI 6- a quantitative anatomical assessment under static conditions) and the Podata (device for recording images in real time of the body weight distribution on the plantar support). (3) Results: The statistical results have indicated significant correlations of strong intensity between the flat foot and the plantar pressure distribution in the midfoot, but also that the flatfoot significantly influences the values of the plantar pressure distribution in the midfoot. (4) Conclusion: The data showed that flatfeet influence the values of the plantar pressure distribution in the mid-area of the sole.
