Avaliação do efeito do uso de palmilhas na pressão plantar estática de crianças com pé plano valgo: estudo preliminar

Abstract

Objective: To evaluate the effects of using orthopedic insole in children with flat foot by evaluating the static plantar pressure. Method: Preliminary study with convenience sample composed of normal children of both gender, aged between seven and eleven years. Evaluation of the static plantar pressure before and after using insoles orthopedic pedobarographic computed using the method as evaluator. Results: We observed that the peak pressure occurred in the heel. Furthermore, there was a pressure decrease in the right heel and in symptoms after using insoles. However, for other regions of the foot, no significant difference after intervention was verified. Conclusion: There were differences in static plantar pressure from all regions of the feet of children with flexible flatfoot, before and after using insoles, but only at the right heel the difference was significant.
