Abstract

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the use of customised orthotics in children aged 10-13 years.
Material and method: The study involved 40 patients referred by an orthopaedic surgeon for supinated orthotics with a diagnosis of pes planus, aged between 10 and 13 years. 22 boys and 18 girls. The tensometric mat podologia.pl and the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) were used for static testing.
Results: The study showed reduction in lower limb pain in the number of pain points, while there was no significant efficacy in co-fixing tarsal valgus.
Conclusions: The research methods used show effectiveness in reducing pain, but do not affect foot correction.
