Influence of selected correction exercises for elongated formation of reduced feet in children aged 3-6 years
Journal Title: Fizjoterapia Polska - Year 2014, Vol 14, Issue 1
Abstract
Introduction. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of a flattened or elongated formation of reduced feet among children with orthopaedic examination, as well as obtaining information on the impact of selected correction exercises on the shape of children's feet.Material and method. The paper presents the research on 211 school children during their preschool period ranging from 3 to 6 year-old, which was accomplished three times during the school year 2011/2012. To assess the accurate state of children's feet the plantocontourographic method was used in which the measurement rate of Clarke angle was characterized by an elongated vaulted arch of the foot. Results. Based on the arithmetic mean and standard deviation, proved statistically, , the evaluation of the flattened feet with Clarke’s angle implies that corrective exercises have a positive effect on the condition of a longitudinal deformation of feet. The results obtained on the third examination of the children’s feet confirm this statement. The feet with a correct elongated arch were found in 61% of the right feet and 63% of the left feet. Conclusion. The study showed that the incidence of low foot arch longitudinal deformation of the feet is common among the children aged 3 to 6 years. The longitudinal foot arch over children rises to normal levels under the influence of some corrective exercises based on the method of accent pressure and metatarsal heads to the ground.
