Conclusions Medial arch-heel support in inserts is effective in reducing ankle eversion in walking and running, but not in standing. In walking, there is a trend to bring the over-pronated feet of the pronators back to the normal eversion range. In running, it shows an effect to restore normal eversion range in 84% of the pronators.

Flexible Flatfeet
Flatfeet are a great concern of many parents and because of its common occurrence, is a frequent question asked of pediatricians. Parental concern is often related to its cosmetic appearance. Most orthopedic surgeons consider it to be a normal variant.

Core Curriculum
Objectives
1. Define pes planovalgus and list other terms used to describe the pediatric flatfoot
2. Discuss the natural history of the physiologic flatfoot of early childhood
3. Describe the examination of a child suspected of having hypermobile flatfoot with tight heelcord
4. Describe indications for treatment of pes planovalgus in children and the nature of the intervention indicated
Discussion point
1. Do shoes, inserts, or braces influence the development of the child's foot?

Pes Planus eMedicine Orthopedics

Buchanan et al — 2008-03-20 23:25:49 GMT

Progressive pes planus, or flatfoot, deformity in adults is a common entity that is encountered by orthopedic surgeons. Despite the significant incidence of this condition, the pathophysiology is still debated. The failure of one anatomic entity alone is unlikely to explain the clinical presentation of adult-acquired flatfoot deformity (AAFD). Instead, a mismatch between active and passive arch stabilizers is a more likely scenario
