Abstract
INTRODUCTION: Flat foot (pes planus) is one of the most common conditions observed in children. The true prevalence of flat foot is unknown, primarily because there is no consensus on the strict clinical or radiographic criteria for defining a flat foot. Flat foot is defined as absence of an arch in the sole of the foot that causes the foot to lie flat when the person is standing. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness of 3D foot scanner designed and fabricated customized foot insole in the management of children with flat foot. METHODS: In this study a total of 30 children from the age of 6 to 10 years with flat foot participated and were divided into 15 each in experimental and control group. The Foot Function Index (FFI) and Oxford Ankle foot Questionnaire (Parent Version) were used for both the groups at the start of the intervention and later after 4 months after intervention. The 3D foot scanner designed and fabricated customized foot insole was used as an intervention in the management of children with flat foot for 4 months duration and the data were recorded and analysed for statistical analysis. RESULTS: In control group Foot Function Index (FFI) pre-test score are56 (5.58) and post test score was 55.80 (5.89) and Oxford Ankle foot Questionnaire Pre-test scores were 18.73 (5.04) and post test score were 18.73 (5.32). Whereas in Experimental group Foot Function Index (FFI) pre-test score was 55.40 (8.36) and post test score was 41 (7.92) and Oxford Ankle foot Questionnaire Pre-test scores were 15.80 (6.18) and post test score were 27.60 (5.37). The paired t test for the experimental group for Foot Function Index (FFI) is (p < 0.01) and Oxford Ankle foot Questionnaire was (p < 0.01). CONCLUSION: The findings of the study suggest that 3D foot scanner designed and fabricated customized foot insole is effective in management of children with flat foot.
