Sponsor's own description

"Idiopathic flat foot is a common condition in children and adolescents. After loading, the heel is adjusted in valgus, the medial longitudinal arch of the foot flattens, and the forefoot is positioned at abducted. Such deformation can be classified as flexible or rigid. A lowered flat foot arch is an undesirable feature. Additional factors such as e.g. abnormal body weight, may have impact on the shape of medial longitudinal arch. Increasing evidence suggests that excess weight is inextricably linked to flatfoot and postural stability. In connection with consequences, disorders of the muscles responsible for stabilizing the arches of the foot are noticed. The mobility and stability of the foot arches is controlled by the internal and external muscles of the foot, but the former are often overlooked in therapy. Short foot exercises are recommended as an improvement in foot arch parameters. The participants will take part in the research with the written consent of their parents or legal guardians. The results will be used anonymously for scientific publications."
