pediatric flat foot
Very interesting data
My caseload is around 85% pediatrics. I tend to err on the side of issueing orthotics if i am in any doubt as to whether they are needed or not. I am certain that many of these are issued to children who would indeed get better by themselves with no help at all. My thinking is that i rarely see an older child and wish they had NOT been given orthotics earlier. I frequently see teenagers with fixed forefoot inversion or some other secondary pathology and wish somebody had caught them before they reached that point!
Is that wrong of me?
Regards

I don't see a problem with making custom or using prefabricated orthoses in children that have significant pathology or symptoms. Of course, there are some podiatrists that feel that treatment of asymptomatic flatfooted children with foot orthoses is "unethical". However, I don't agree and have no problem whatsoever with treating children with foot orthoses if they have significant flatfoot deformity or there is a family history of flatfoot and/or significant mechanical foot symptoms. I do have a problem with podiatrists that make custom foot orthoses for every child with a flatter than normal arch shape since I think this is wasteful and unneccessary. -

Thanks for that. I think a lot of the dispute and angst over whether or not to treat asymptomatic children boils down to the root of all evil, money. Even if the clinician acts with the very purest of motives and honestly beleives in treating a higher proportion of children, eyebrows are bound to raise if he / she is making a small fortune in the process. Motive and oppertunity alone are by no means proof of guilt however they do inevitably raise suspicions! We live in a sad and blighted world where it is hard to trust anyone who is selling anything!
Witness to, the proliferation of commercial labs manufacturing "different", "breakthrough" or "new paradigm" varieties of orthotic. Most claim to be a breakthrough in the care of patients but i for one will admit to starting from a position of extreme suspicion if the breakthrough is going to make the clinician rich!
Perhaps this is why we hold the academic side of the profession in such high regard?

Why oh why do we see study upon study that does not take into consideration pain and the effect of the foot upon gross motor skills and general development. This study is a classic example.
The child's ability to keep up and develop within the range of normal, based on their tone and foot position (amongst other things) is something that the physio's and OT's are good at considering. How much do we as podiatrists do this? Why aren't we utilizing developmental tools to aid our decision making process, it should be us doing these sort of studies with our allied health collegues that are skilled in the child as a whole rather than a foot at the end of the body. -
Interesting. Was the methodology vigorous, and were validity and reliability ensured?

HI I am wondering for a tilte re my Masters project. I am a Maltese podiatrist and re foot health education in my country nothing has been done yet. I might go for the prevelance of lower limb conditions in maltese obese children aged 8 -12 years(high rate internationally). Can anyone givve me a hint or tools I can use? Your help is more than appreciated

My place of work conducts screening of children's feet at various local 4 year old kindergartens. In a 12 month period 275 children were screened for developmental lower limb and foot problems. Of these children, 29% had flat feet, 18% were intoeing, 6% were toe walking, 6% had syndactyly and 41% had no identified problems.

In evaluating preschool age infants, you need to be careful not to confuse the ILA fat pad (that is present in infants) with flatfeet.
Having said that, there are two general types of flatfeet:
- Structural
- Positional
Positional flatfeet: The most common genetic cause of flatfeet is the PreClinical Clubfoot Deformity. From the viewpoint as a podiatrist practicing posturology, standard orthotics are counterindicated in these infants. Long term they will only exacerbate their symptoms. Instead I use very specific proprioceptive insoles.
