Flat feet, prone feet, posture and dependency between them in first grade children

چکیده
Background Posture is simply the position our bodies adopt in response to the effects of gravity. It is the way we hold ourselves, in sitting, standing or even lying down. Correct posture gives not only a smart appearance but also helps to prevent injury and illness of the spine. The children’s ankle-foot complex pass through various stages of development. The presence of abnormalities in them would be a logical prerequisite for the development of abnormalities in other parts of the children’s body.

متن کاملEvaluation of foot posture development in children between three and eleven years of age using the foot posture index
Children are commonly brought into clinic by parents anxious over ‘flat feet’. Whilst flat feet may represent a normal developmental process, the natural history of foot posture in children is incompletely understood. This fuels controversy concerning which foot postures necessitate clinical intervention. The persistence of this controversy may be due, at least in part, to the absence of a clin...
