“…Also improvements in quality of life of the patients when using AFO's have been reported (Burns et al, 2006;Rome et al, 2004;Roos et al, 2006;Sheffler et al, 2013).

Background: Flatfoot is a musculoskeletal disorder of the foot where the medial longitudinal arch becomes flatter, resulting in a more foot surface touching the ground compared to the normal foot. One of the risk factors for flatfoot is the rather early footwear usage with a considerably long period of usage with the enclosed footwear type. This may cause weakening of supporting tissues of the foot. This study aimed to describe the use of footwear in children with flatfoot. Methods: This study used a descriptive categorical method, conducted from March to June 2017 among students from five elementary schools in Sukajadi sub-district, Bandung. Primary data were obtained by using questionnaires and descriptively presented. Results: Prevalence of flatfoot among included students (n73) of the elementary school with age range of 6-10 years was 54.8%. All students had their first years of wearing footwear in the age range 0-5 years. The majority (52.5%) of footwear usage duration in flatfoot disorder was ≥8 hours/day, and the footwear type of flatfoot disorder was dominated (65%) by sandals/slippers. Conclusions: There is a high number of flatfoot in elementary school, and this needs special attention, especially on how to use the footwear.

Introducción: Una observación minuciosa del antepié, permite realizar una clasificación del mismo según la longitud de los dedos, que dará origen a las llamadas fórmulas digitales (pie egipcio, pie cuadrado y pie griego).Objetivo: El objetivo de este estudio es analizar los tipos de pie en una población juvenil y su posible relación con diferentes patologías del antepié y otros factores como la edad y el sexo.Materal y métodos: Se realizó un estudio observacional descriptivo a 103 participantes y se determinó el tipo de pie y la presencia de deformidades digitales.Resultados y conclusiones: Podemos afirmar para nuestra población, que el tipo de pie más habitual es el egipcio y el menos frecuente el griego. Las patologías digitales tienen una incidencia del 46,15%. Quintus varus es la alteración digital más frecuente y se relaciona con el pie cuadrado, y por otro lado el Juanete de sastre, parece ser significativamente más incidente en el pie griego a pesar de estar también presente en el pie cuadrado. Destaca que las mujeres son las más afectadas por estas patologías.Estos datos sirven para que el podólogo los tenga en cuenta en la realización de tratamientos específicos que favorezcan la salud y el bienestar del pie.
