Abstract
The way how biomechanical problems are handled is a controversial topic in the field of physical rehabilitation. This is a research was carried out in order to describe the evolution of a group of pediatric patients over two years of age diagnosed with flat feet treated in a physiotherapy consultation in the city of Riobamba. This research was of observational descriptive type and longitudinal cut. The study population consisted of the control, evaluation and assessment cards of 30 children over 2 years of age who attended a physiotherapy consultation accompanied by a legal guardian to show signs of alterations in the footprint (flat foot). A predominance of patients between four and five years of age with 33% and 27% respectively was observed. 93% of the participants presented alterations of the footprint checked by the means of a machine for measu-ring foot plant, but 53% had physiological flat feet. After applying the Risser exercises, the data was reflected in the figure of normal footprint up to 33%, and a decrease of affectation in 35% of the children diagnosed. The results of the recovery were confirmed through the analysis of footwear wear in the pediatric patients in question.
