Flat foot is the longitudinal curvature of the medial foot. In prosthetic orthotics, flat foot is treatment using custom foot orthosis. Flat foot can be easily detected in children aged 8-12 years. From the results of early detection at SD Negeri 1 Gedongan, Colomadu, Karanganyar, 12 students had flat foot. So it is necessary to have education for the teachers and students to increase understanding of the use of custom foot orthosis in reducing the degree of flat foot in students. This activity was at SD Negeri 1 Gedongan, Colomadu, Karanganyar there are early detection of flat foot, educations, and intervention in the provision of custom foot orthosis for students who had flat foot from June to August 2022. Results: There was an increase in understanding of the use foot orthoses to reduce flat foot as evidenced by interactive discussions and evaluations with questions and answers to participants and an increased grade of flat foot students after 1 month of being given foot orthoses. Custom foot orthosis is given to students who detect flat foot to be used every day so that it provides benefits in reducing the degree of flat foot. It can help students be more comfortable in carrying out their daily activities because the curved arch can correct the condition of the arch. Implementation of the use of custom foot orthosis in reducing the degree of flat foot can help the community in dealing with flat foot in children.

Full textAbstract:
Background: Flat foot, also known as pes planus, is a postural deformity characterized by the fall of the foot's arch, with all or almost all of the soles of the foot in contact with a flat surface. A flat foot is related to the function of the lower leg, increases the likelihood of sports injuries, and affects the motor abilities of the lower limbs. This study aims to compare the agility of the athletes of the East Java Puslatda with flat feet and normal feet. Method: This study is an observational retrospective study using the medical records of athletes who underwent sports injury risk screening at the Sports Clinic RSUD dr. Soetomo Surabaya. Subjects were divided into the flat foot and normal foot groups. The agility of both groups was measured using Agility T-drill test tools and compared between the two groups. Results: There were 46 subjects divided into 23 subjects in the flat foot group (14 males and 9 females aged 17-33 years) and 23 subjects in the normal foot group (12 males and 11 females aged 16-31 years). The average agility in the flat foot group was 11.23 ± 0.19 seconds (9.62 seconds - 12.74 seconds), while in the normal foot group, it was 11.12 ± 0.21 seconds (9.16 seconds - 13.38 seconds). There was no significant difference in agility between the two study groups. Analysis of each sport showed no significant difference in agility between the flat foot and normal foot groups. Analysis according to intrinsic factors showed a significant positive correlation with moderate strength between agility and gender. Conclusion: There was no significant difference in agility between athletes with flat foot and normal foot.

Full textAbstract:
BACKGROUND Haemophilic patients are more prone to obesity, due to physical inactivity which is a predisposing factor for structural and functional deformities. In obese people, long term loading has negative impact on lower limb and foot, which causes deformities like flat-foot. In foot, the primary component responsible for absorption and dissipation of forces is medial longitudinal arch and in flat-foot this arch is collapsed. Flat-foot causes pain and discomfort during weight bearing activities. In Haemophilic patients, obesity and flat-foot lead to further postural complications. As no study has been conducted on this topic before, we decided to study on this. The objectives of this study were to assess obesity, flat-foot and co relate obesity and flat-foot in Haemophilic adolescents. METHODS Height and weight of participants were measured to calculate BMI. Total 36 participants were chosen for this study. The subjects were assessed for flat-foot by using Staheli’s Plantar Arch Index. Footprints were taken to calculate the plantar index. The Staheli’s Plantar Arch Index was measured by dividing the width of central region by width of heel region on footprint, which was calculated as: a line tangent to the medial edge of forefoot and heel region, then a perpendicular line was drawn medially to laterally from mid - point of tangent line in central region of footprint (A) and similarly another perpendicular was drawn from heel region (B). The plantar index was then calculated by dividing value A with value B. RESULTS Flat-foot was seen in 25 % population having BMI between 33 - 35. Our data also suggested that age affects the medial arch of foot, the elder population showed increased percentage of flat-foot than the younger group. Individuals with type A haemophilia had increased percentage of flat-foot when compared with type B haemophiliacs, as type A haemophilia is considered severe type. CONCLUSIONS The results show that there is high prevalence of flat-foot in haemophilic patients, this requires rehabilitation and can help prevent further complications.

Background: Gross motor skills are the ability to move limbs that involve nerves, bones, and muscles, to perform certain activities (balance standing, walking, running, and jumping). To be able to do this, a person needs a normal body structure including the foot. A person will experience obstacles when the foot has a structural abnormality, one of which is the flat foot. Flat foot is a condition where the foot does not have a normal arch / flat foot. One of the treatments performed on flat foot sufferers is by giving foot orthosis in the form of Medial Arch Support. Medial arch support is a tool used to improve stability and improve walking function. Methods: According to a preliminary study conducted at SDN 1 Tohudan there were 47 students from grades 3 to 6 who experienced flat foot. This is known from the results of early detection of flat foot carried out at SDN 1 Tohudan. The approach method to be chosen is (1) Assessment for early detection of flat foot conditions, (2) health promotion by training for students, parents, and teachers to increase knowledge about flat foot problems that have an impact on children's gross motor skills so it needs to be done. intervention with the use of medial arch support, with the aim of improving students' gross motor skills. Results: After community service activities run, the understanding of students, parents, and teachers who are the targets / targets in this activity gets better, they become better at understanding the basics of flat foot, which results in a decrease in gross motor skills and increasingly realizes the importance of handling it by using medial arch support. Conclusions: The implementation of community service activities can increase the knowledge of students, teachers and parents about the effect of using medial arch support on the gross motor skills of students with flat foot.

The objective index as developed by Qaura, Deodhar, and Jit, in 1980 was used to estimate the incidence of flat foot (pes planus) in 990 school pupils (532 females and 458 males) between the ages of 5 and 14 years. The ratio of contact area to the total area of the middle of the footprint (contact index 1) (4/10), usually measured with a planimeter, is accepted as the true representative of the condition of arches. In this field study, contact index II (ratio of contact width to the total width of the foot) which is simple, reliable, and correlates with contact index I has been used to assess flat foot. The mean for the contact index and standard deviation have been calculated. Feet have been considered as normal up to 1 SD around the mean value of the index and values greater or lesser than this have been considered abnormal. Furthermore, mean ± 1 SD to 2 SD has been considered as possible flat foot, whereas mean ± 3 SD and above has been taken as definite flat foot. On the whole, bilateral flat foot is not common among children of school age in Port Harcourt (0.60%). It is, however, more common in females (0.75%) than males (0.44%). Unilateral flat foot (2.22%) is found to be more common than bilateral flat foot. Early introduction to the use of shoes may predispose to flat foot. We were not in a position to say if any of the subjects found with flat foot would have a painful foot. Clinically speaking it could become important when flat foot co-exists with painful feet or even with pain extending up to the vertebral column.

Introduction and Aim: Flat foot or pes planus results from collapse of the arches of the foot. Etiology, however varies in different age groups. As anthropometric measurements are age dependent, their correlation with different foot postures should be age specific. Our study aimed at using Plantar arch Index (PAI) to identify prevalence of flat foot in a young student population and find any association of obesity with flat foot. Methods: A prospective study was conducted on 150 medical students of a medical college. Staheli’s method was used to calculate PAI after collecting the footprints of students by ink method. Results: Prevalence of type III flat foot deformity was 6%, with a male preponderance. The PAI values ranged from 0 to 1.818. No association was found between obesity and PAI. Conclusion: Obesity was not associated with flat foot in the age group 18-25 years probably indicating different etiology for acquired flat foot in this age group. Our study also suggests that simple ink print method is a simpler method to diagnose flat feet deformity clinically using PAI.

Full textAbstract:
Background: The foot is a part of the body that function is to support the body weight and to maintain balance while standing, but the foot also has many problems, one of which is flat foot, a type of flat foot caused by the flattening of the bone's curvature, which is the lack of arches on the soles of the feet. The weakness of the plantaris ligament, posterior and anterior tibial tendons, and intrinsic muscles, which maintain the medial longitudinal arch, are the cause of this foot deformity that can have an impact on health. Flat feet that occur in the community are often ignored and considered to be normal. Poor foot conditions will affect the fulcrum, one of the foot conditions that can affect the fulcrum is flat foot. When a child has the flat foot, the resulting fulcrum is also going to be bad, it will affect the balance. Purpose: To ascertain how flat foot relates to both static and dynamic balance. Method: A cross-sectional approach, specifically focusing on observational study. The study took place from June 2024, in MI Muhmmadiyah Gonilan, Surakarta. The independent variable was flat foot the dependent variables is a static balance and dynamic balance. Using purposive sampling and the Slovin formula, 108 participants were selected. Univariate statistical analysis was conducted, bivariate data analysis using Spearman rank test. Results: The correlation coefficient value of 0.645 falls into the strong relationship category, while the correlation coefficient value of 0.207 is classified as a weak relationship. Additionally, the significance value of <0.05 indicates a statistically significant relationship between flat foot and both static and dynamic balance. Conclusion: The analysis showed that while there was a correlation between flat feet and both types of balance, the degree of association was different. Flat feet had a very weak relationship with dynamic balance, while its relationship with static balance was stronger and more significant. Thus, it can be said that flat feet have more influence on static balance than dynamic balance.

Full textAbstract:
Introduction: Flat foot is a common foot deformity marked by the absence of the medial longitudinal arch of the foot. Flexible flat foot is usually symptomless but can affect the biomechanics of the lower extremity and lumbar spine, possibly increasing the risk of pain and injury. Conservative management, including physiotherapy, is important in flat foot management, yet the number of reports regarding physiotherapy for flat foot is scarce. Therefore, this case report aimed to describe a case of bilateral flexible flat foot in a male adolescent who was treated with a comprehensive physiotherapy program.
 Case Description: A 17-year-old male presented to the physiotherapy clinic with flat foot deformity on both feet. The patient received an hour of comprehensive physiotherapy program per session, twice per week, which included lower extremity stretching, various foot and leg strengthening exercises, proprioception exercises, and an educational aspect. The footprint test was conducted and the patient was evaluated using the Arch Index. The Arch Index measurements according to Cavanagh and Rodgers decreased from 0.38 to 0.32 (left foot) and 0.35 to 0.28 (right foot). Likewise, Staheli’s Arch Index measurements also decreased from 1.54 to 1.02 (left foot) and 1.5 to 0.7 (right foot).
 Conclusion: Following 20 physiotherapy sessions, the patient’s Arch Index measurements demonstrated an overall reduction, indicating noteworthy improvements in the medial longitudinal arch height. Hence, it can be concluded that a comprehensive physiotherapy program can help improve the medial longitudinal arch height, and thereby foot posture, of an adolescent with bilateral flexible flat foot.

Full textAbstract:
This study is aimed to investigate loaded and unloaded foot area ratio (RFA, ratio of foot area) as special tests for the basis of clinical examination of flat foot and healthy foot. Type of foot is determined by Cavanagh’s arch indexes (AI) which is the ratio between mid foot area to entire footprint area excluding the toes. Type of foot is called high arch when AI<0.21, normal/healthy foot when 0.26>AI≥0.21 and flat foot when AI>0.26. The entire loaded foot and footprint area for evaluating AI derived from a digital footprint is modified from document scanner, while the entire unloaded foot area derived from a 3D scanner. One hundred and two healthy students (87 males and 15 females, average aged 20 years and average BMI 22.51 kg/m2) is asked voluntarily for doing footprint and scan. From 102 subjects found 63 participants identified as flat foot and 31 subjects are healthy feet. This study proves that the higher the value of AI the higher the value of RFA and foot type can be predicted by the value of RFA. For type of foot is high arch RFA<0.49, for healthy foot 0.55>RFA≥0.49 and for flat foot RFA>0.55.

Flat foot is also called Plano-valgus foot, and it is a term, that is commonly used in describing flat foot. Some studies have suggested, that certain foot-specific exercises and barefoot weight bear walking can change foot function like flat foot, and also confirm that shoed walking children are more likely to get a flat foot. An Assessor blinded, Randomized controlled trial with thirty-eight children with flat foot aged 6 – 14 years, both male and female were randomised to the control group (n= 19) and intervention group (n=19). The control group had performed barefoot walking for 45 minutes a day for eight weeks, and the intervention group had received foot-specific exercises with barefoot walking for eight weeks. Foot posture was evaluated by the arch index, while the Oxford foot and ankle questionnaire was used to measure the subjective well-being of children. Measurements were taken before and after the eight weeks of intervention. The outcome of the randomised control trial showed that the barefoot walking group faired far better than that which didn't (p-value <0.05). The intervention group outcomes measure Arch Index, and Oxford Foot and Ankle Questionnaire were p-values is <0.05 from seventh and eight weeks. This study results suggest that barefoot walking and specific foot exercises are effective in improving the flat foot in school-going children.

Full textAbstract:
Flat foot is a condition which pedal arch is absent. This condition is count physiological if found in infants and children at a certain age due to incomplete development of bone structure and surrounding tissue. Flat foot is a common condition in pediatrics, which affects about 20% to 30% of the world's population. The prevalence of flat foot will decrease concomitantly with age. At two years old, 94% of children experience flat foot and only 4% at ten years old experience this condition. Most children will show complete and normal development of the sole foot at 12 years old. Pedal arch is one of the important parts that affect the anatomical structure of the lower limb and foot biomechanical. This study aims to compare the anatomical structure of the pedal arch in patients with flat foot and normal foot from Arch Height Index (AHI), Plantar Arch Index, Calcaneal Pitch Angle (CP), Talo-Horizontal Angle (TH), and Meary’s talus-first metatarsal (T-1MT). This study is an analytical study with a cross sectional approach using a sample of 30 elementary school students in Denpasar. The data obtained were analyzed using descriptive analysis and comparative test. In this study, we found significant differences in the plantar arch index and calcaneal pitch angle between students with normal foot and flat foot. We also found no significant differences in AHI, T-1MT and TH between students with normal foot and flat foot.

Introduction: Foot is the main structure involved in locomotory activity. The anatomical segments of foot involve forefoot, midfoot and hindfoot. Pes planus is a common foot pathology constituting of collapse of the medial longitudinal arch, foot abduction at the talonavicular joint, and hindfoot valgus. Regardless of the type of flat foot, complications involve low back pain, knee pain, bunions, hammertoes, balance deficit, and increased chances of falls in elderly. Plantar intrinsic foot muscles are the small group of muscles responsible to maintain the medial longitudinal arch and various treatment protocols designed to manage pathologies related to flat foot. Method: In this study total 130 patients with flat foot were selected and foot posture was obtained for forefoot and hindfoot with foot print analysis. The intrinsic foot muscle strength was measured with modified sphygmomanometer. Further values of both the foot postures were plotted on a graph with the values of intrinsic foot muscle strength to obtain a correlational relationship between the two. Results: Intrinsic foot muscle strength showed a negative correlation with forefoot posture and no correlation was obtained with the hindfoot posture. Conclusions: The intrinsic foot strength is negatively correlated with the forefoot posture in patients with flat foot i.e., with increasing amount of flat foot due to forefoot posture, the plantar intrinsic foot muscle strength declines, and no correlation of hindfoot posture with the strength suggests minimal contribution of hindfoot posture for strength deficit in flat foot.

Background:Due to blocking of pronation/dorsiflexion in flexible flat foot and restriction of these movements in using the University of California Berkeley Laboratory orthosis, provided pressures in sole by the orthosis were increased. Therefore, this article describes the evaluation of modified foot orthosis with flexible structure in the management of individuals with flexible flat foot.Case description and method:The patient was a 21-year-old male who had symptomatic flat foot. The modified foot orthosis included movable surface and the outside structure. The modified foot orthosis was evaluated by standing foot X-ray, comfort rate, electromyography of leg muscle and vertical ground reaction force during walking.Findings and outcomes:The modified foot orthosis improved the foot alignment and decreased the symptoms of flat foot with more comfort. Subtalar position by sub-maximum supination had higher position than neutral in sagittal plane. It may increase the muscle activity of peroneus longus by 7% compared to barefoot, and there was a decrease of 11% ground reaction force in mid stance.Conclusion:The result of this single case evaluation only proposed the feasibility of this modified insole as the orthotic treatment in flexible flat foot.Clinical relevanceThe modified foot orthosis, which is mobile in the midfoot, is an orthosis for walking and standing in subjects with flexible flat foot.

Full textAbstract:
Background. The human foot contains one of the most variable structures of the body, which is the medial longitudinal arch. Decrease in the height of this arch results in a flat foot. Although there is some evidence regarding the influence of flat foot on gait performance of flat-footed individuals, there is no strong evidence to support the theory that being flat-footed has an effect on energy consumption. Therefore, the aim of this study was to find the relationship between flat foot and energy consumption. Method. Two groups of normal and flat-footed participants were recruited in this research project. They were selected from the staff and students of Isfahan University of Medical Sciences. The foot indexes of both groups were obtained using the footprint method with help of Solid worker software. The physiological cost index (PCI) of the participants was measured by the use of a heart rate monitoring system (Polar Electro, Finland). The differences between the PCIs of both groups of participants was determined using a t test. In addition, the influence of using an insole was evaluated using a paired t test. Result. The energy consumption of flat-footed individuals differed significantly from that of normal individuals (the PCIs of normal and flat-footed individuals were 0.357 and 0.368 beats/m, respectively). Using a foot insole improved the performance of the flat-footed individuals during walking. Conclusion. The PCI of flat-footed individuals is more than that of normal participants as a result of misalignment of foot structure. Moreover, using a foot insole improved foot alignment and decreased energy consumption. Levels of Evidence: Therapeutic, Level III: comparative case series

Full textAbstract:
Objective: Bipedalism in humans demanded robust postural control systems to maintain balance and equilibrium during variety of volitional activities. Adaptive learning is a key characteristic of these control systems. Postural control and balance are associated with autonomic changes trying to maintain cardiovascular homeostasis during postural imbalances, which are specifically important in conditions like flat foot. Yoga training could help such cases to achieve better postural balance and autonomic state. Young adolescent girls with flat foot were studied in comparison to normal girls and flat foot boys. Materials and Methods: Sixteen girls and 11 boys with flat foot were subjected to posturography on Wii Balance Board connected wirelessly to PowerLab 15T. Wireless heart rate belt was used to acquire RR intervals. Vrikshasana was chosen as the suitable asana for 4-week training. Displacement of center of pressure (COP) and heart rate variability was analyzed using LabChart pro software before and after yoga training. Results: COP displacement in flat foot subjects is away from the center during erect stance and sway toward sides. Flat foot girls showed significant greater displacements and lesser correction after yoga compared to flat foot boys (P < 0.05). Flat foot girls also showed lesser recovery in LF% and RMSSD after 4-week yoga training. Conclusion: Studying the autonomic changes during voluntary postural imbalance on balance board provide real-time picture of internal state in flat foot individuals. The sympathetic dominance would account for preparedness and adaptation in postural control systems. This state improved with yoga training toward better cardiac vagal tone.

Flat foot (Pes planus, latin) yang dikenal sebagai "kaki datar" adalah kelainan bentuk kaki yang relatif umum terjadi. Secara khusus, ini mengacu pada hilangnya lengkung longitudinal medial kaki sehingga sisi medial telapak kaki hampir atau sampai menyentuh tanah. Flat foot dapat menyebabkan efek samping seperti ketidak stabilan pada kaki sebagai penyangga tubuh dan akhirnya berpengaruh pada gerakan berjalan normal yang menimbulkan rasa kelelahan, nyeri, dan keterbatasan gerak. Obesitas merupakan salah satu faktor risiko terjadinya flat foot. Berat badan berlebih menyebabkan tekanan yang lebih besar pada kaki sebagai penumpu tubuh ketika berdiri dan mengakibatkan arkus longitudinal medialis kaki menjadi makin rendah (flat foot). Tujuan dilakukannya penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui pengaruh IMT terhadap kejadian flat foot pada mahasiswa Universitas Tarumanagara. Desain penelitian ini yang dilakukan adalah analitic, dengan metode crossectional dan teknik pengambilan sampel menggunakan consecutive sampling dengan jumlah sampel sebanyak 114 mahasiswa yang dilakukan di Universitas Tarumanagara. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa terdapat hubungan yang bermakna pada Indeks Massa Tubuh (IMT) terhadap Flat foot dengan nilai p = 0,0001 (p<0,05) dan didapatkan PRR 23.116, artinya semakin berlebihnya berat badan memiliki resiko flat foot 23,116 lebih besar dibandingkan berat badan normal atau kurang.

Background: Flat feet are an orthopedic problem that affects the biomechanics of the foot and also the musculoskeletal system. It manifests itself with the loss of the longitudinal arch due to a weakness of the intrinsic musculature of the foot. This type of foot is very common in school children, which must be addressed at this age, to avoid biomechanical complications in the future. Objective: to determine the effect of Risser exercises on the formation of the plantar arch of children with flat feet. Methods: the Hernández Corvo method was applied in the pre-evaluation for the analysis of the plantar footprint in children from a school in the city of Guayaquil, where children who had flat feet were identified. The Risser exercises were performed on them to strengthen the muscles of the sole of the foot and form the plantar arch. These were performed 3 times a week at school, and the exercises were taught to the parents by the physiotherapist. Results: the post-evaluation of the plantar footprint was carried out, the results showed the formation of the longitudinal arch of the foot with the Risser exercises, meaning that the flat foot improved, giving rise to a normal flat foot. Conclusions: with the Risser exercises, favorable effects were obtained in the formation of the plantar arch in childhood flat feet. The results showed the formation of the longitudinal arch of the foot with the Risser exercises, meaning that the flat foot improved, giving rise to a normal flat foot.

Flat foot, is a medical condition characterized by a flatter-than-normal medial longitudinal arch (MLA), causing the entire sole of the foot to make close or direct contact with the ground surface. Studies indicate a prevalence of flat foot in the adult population ranging from 13.6% to 26.62%, resulting in foot pain and a diminished quality of life. Orthotic shoes present one treatment method for flat feet. This research aims to analyze the correlation between the arch index and the rear angle of the foot in individuals with flat feet, as well as to design orthotic shoes and insoles. The methodology involved 5 female students with an arch index greater than 0.26, measured through digital sole prints, and the rear angle of the foot assessed using a goniometer. Insole molding design utilized Rhinoceros software and was 3D printed. The insoles were crafted from materials comprising 90% silicone rubber, 10% talc, and 4% hardener of the total. The results indicated that all subjects exhibited flat feet, as evidenced by a nonsignificant reduction in the eversion angle at the rear corner of the foot. In conclusion, there exists a correlation between the arch index and eversion angle in flat foot measurements. Additionally, orthotic shoes and insoles can be customized based on 3D scanning results, offering effective treatment and comfort for individuals with flat feet.

Flat feet, a state in which the normal foot arch is reduced or collapsed. Flat feet are mainly caused by foot pain due to the collapse or loss of elasticity of the longitudinal arch of the foot caused by some reasons such as abnormal foot bone morphology, muscle atrophy, ligament contracture or chronic strain. It is mostly seen in people who are overweight or standing for a long period of time, and is caused by the ligaments and muscle legs that maintain the arch of the foot being overworked and loosened. Flat feet often lead to swelling and pain in the foot, which is especially serious after standing or walking, and at the same time, those with flat feet will lead to athletes being more prone to injuries. At present, flat feet are mainly treated by orthopedic shoes, medical sports, manipulation and fixation, and surgery.

Background: The condition of flat feet in children will affect activity, development, and weight management. Even though there are often no symptoms, if the condition leads to a severe stage, it will interfere with the function of the feet. The impacts that can be caused by flat feet include walking that is not good, being quickly tired, impaired agility, and poor balance, which affects children's activities. Therefore, knowing the factors that can affect flat feet is necessary. This study aimed to determine the risk factors for flat feet in children. Methods: The study used a literature review design using secondary data from published literature. The literature search was conducted online through PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar, using the keywords “flat foot”, “plantar index”, and “risk factors”, which were selected based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. Results: Aged 6-12 years are described as having a higher risk of experiencing flat feet. The male sex has a greater risk than women, the use of closed footwear also has a greater risk, and low physical activity is one of the risk factors. Besides that, being overweight and obese can increase the risk of flat feet. Conclusion: The strongest risk factor for flat feet was age, which was also influenced by gender, footwear shape, activity, and nutritional status.

Full textAbstract:
Pendahuluan: Masa pertumbuhan dan perkembangan anak menyebabkan terjadinya penebalan jaringan lunak pada telapak kaki bagian medial. Penebalan ini mengakibatkan telapak kaki tidak memiliki lengkungan sehingga terlihat rata dan menempel pada permukaan tanah yang disebut dengan flat foot. Flat foot merupakan gangguan musculoskeletal yang dapat memengaruhi keseimbangan statis. Flat foot menjadi perhatian khusus karena banyak ditemui pada anak. Deformasi terus menerus pada arkus medial longitudinal dapat menyebabkan ankle overpronation dan perubahan struktural yang memberi efek negatif pada keseimbangan dengan mengubah area kontak telapak kaki pada permukaan tanah, strategi otot dan sendi dalam sebuah gerakan. Tujuan penelitian yaitu membuktikan adanya korelasi antara flat foot dengan keseimbangan statis pada anak usia 10-12 tahun di Kecamatan Sukawati.
 Metode: Jenis desain penelitian yaitu observasional analitik dengan pendekatan cross sectional dan teknik consecutive sampling. Jumlah sampel penelitian yaitu 46 anak sesuai kriteria inklusi dan eksklusi. Penelitian dilaksanakan pada bulan Agustus sampai Oktober 2022 di Sekolah Dasar daerah Kecamatan Sukawati. Variabel yang diukur dalam penelitian ini yaitu flat foot dengan alat ukur wet footprint test dan keseimbangan statis dengan alat ukur stork standing test.
 Hasil: Berdasarkan uji korelasi spearman’s rho diperoleh nilai p=0,002 dimana p<0,05 dan nilai koefisien korelasi sebesar 0,454.
 Simpulan: Terdapat korelasi antara derajat flat foot dengan keseimbangan statis pada anak usia 10-12 tahun di Kecamatan Sukawati dengan kekuatan korelasi cukup dan searah. Korelasi yang searah berarti semakin buruk derajat flat foot maka semakin buruk pula keseimbangan statis sampel dan sebaliknya.
 
 Kata Kunci: flat foot, keseimbangan statis, anak usia 10-12 tahun

Full textAbstract:
ased on the finite element method, the effect of porous osteotomy block on the biomechanics of surrounding joints in the treatment of flat foot by Evans osteotomy is studied. The finite element method is used to simulate the osteotomy block for Evans osteotomy to correct flatfoot. The effect of Evans osteotomy on the foot force line is analyzed from the biomechanical point of view. The osteotomy blocks were divided into solid osteotomy blocks and porous osteotomy blocks, and normal foot and flat foot were used as control groups. The results show that Evans osteotomy can effectively improve the force line of the foot to correct the flat foot. Compared with the solid osteotomy block, the porous osteotomy block can also play a corrective effect and reduce the stress shielding effect when used for Evans osteotomy to correct the flat foot.

BACKGROUND Pes planus, commonly known as flat foot is a deformity of the foot, characterized by loss of the medial longitudinal arch of the foot. There are several diagnostic methods available, such -as radiographs and digital footprint scanning techniques, that involve the usage of ink, dyes, and expensive instrumentation which may be harmful and not readily available at all time. The arch height may prove to be a user-friendly, portable, and affordable means of grading the foot. However, no tools were found during the search for review of literature. Hence, a need for a tool to measure the arch height and further give standard range of the arch height for flat feet and non-flat feet was identified. OBJECTIVE To design a tool and further provide values to differentiate flatfoot and non-flatfoot using arch height as a measurement tool. RELEVANCE The instrument was designed to quantify arch height and values to differentiate flatfoot and non-flatfoot are provided by comparison with Chippaux Smirak Index (CSI). METHOD The study evaluated the medial longitudinal arches of 30 individuals (60 feet) using static footprints and arch height measurement with tool. The footprints were classified into flatfoot and non-flatfoot using CSI. Data was subjected to appropriate statistical analysis. RESULTS The range of medial longitudinal arch height between 15-21mm in sitting position and 13-19 mm in standing position identified with non-flat foot, while the range of medial longitudinal arch height between 10-14 mm in sitting position and 8-12 mm in standing position identified with flat foot when compared with CSI. These findings suggest that the tool can be used effectively to measure the medial longitudinal arch height and differentiate between individuals with flat foot and non-flat foot. CONCLUSION The study concludes that the tool is effective in measuring the medial longitudinal arch height and can be used to differentiate between individuals with flat foot and non-flat foot. Designers of the tool would like to name the tool as ArchCheck Tool.
