Physical therapy technique for flat feet in children
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
This study tests whether a special movement-based technique can help reduce flat feet in school-age children. Flat feet can affect how kids walk and play, and this therapy may help improve foot arch height.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is between 7 and 12 years old
- Your child has flat feet with significant arch drop (measured as navicular drop greater than 10 millimeters)
- Your child has not had foot or ankle surgery
- Your child does not have developmental delays, sensory problems, or uncorrected vision issues
- Your child has no current pain in the feet, ankles, or legs
- Your child's weight is healthy for their height (BMI 25 or lower) and feet do not have severe deformities

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests whether basic body awareness therapy can help people with flexible flat feet (when the foot arch flattens under weight but returns when not standing). If you have flat feet without other foot problems, you may qualify.
This study tests if special exercises with biofeedback (a tool that helps you see muscle activity) can improve flexible flat feet. It may help you if you have flat feet that are not fixed in position.
This study tests whether a simple treatment—releasing the plantar fascia (a band of tissue on the bottom of the foot) combined with foot exercises—can improve movement quality in young adults with flat feet. It aims to help you move better and feel more stable.
This study looks at whether people with flat feet have differences in their diaphragm (a breathing muscle), balance, and foot pressure compared to people with normal arches. It may help understand how flat feet affect overall movement and stability.
This trial looks at whether using a foot brace (an orthosis) plus exercises can improve symptoms from flat feet. It may help by changing how your foot and heel work when you stand or walk.
This study tests whether magnetic stimulation of foot muscles can improve the arch of the foot and muscle strength in adults with flat feet. If you have flat feet without major leg or health problems, this trial may help find a new way to strengthen your feet.
