Evaluation of the paediatric foot using footprints and foot posture index: A cross-sectional study
Journal of Paediatrics and Child Health Feb 19, 2020
Gijon-Nogueron G, et al. - In this cross-sectional study, researchers intended to determine if there is an association between footprints and foot posture in children. In total, 316 school children from Spain, aged 6–9 years, were evaluated for both footprint (Clarke's angle (CA)), by Tecniwork Pedrograph Plate, and foot posture (foot posture index (FPI)) measures, with participants barefoot, in a relaxed standing position, on a 50-cm elevated platform. An inverse relationship has been established between CA and FPI, that is to say, the greater the FPI, the smaller the CA, but not all pronated foot are planus feet and not all cavus feet are supinated feet. Footprints can overestimate and misguide concerns about pediatric foot posture.
