“…The similar observation conducted Pauk et al [25], studying the influence of epidemiological factors on the occurrence of a flat foot in children. He also showed the increase in the Cole's index was accompanied by a decrease in the height of the foot arch in boys and girls.…”

Introduction: The foot plays an important role as a static-dynamic foundation of the skeleton. The process of the most intensive formation of the foot during the posturogenesis falls on the preschool age and early school age. The aim of the study was to characterize the arch of the feet in children at the age of 5 and to look for the dependence of their arching condition on the Cole's index level. Material and methods: Forty-four preschool children took part in the research. The Cole's index showed an underweight, normal body weight, overweight and obesity. The plantography method was used to assess the arching of the feet. Results: Over half of the examined children had normal body weight. Underweight was more common in the boys group, while overweight and obesity in girls. Ninety percent of children had abnormal longitudinal and transverse arches in both feet. The varus of the big toe and the valgus of the small toe was observed in both groups. The position of the heel was set correctly in majority of the participants. Conclusions: No relationship was found between the Cole's index and longitudinal arches of the right and left foot in boys, as well as in girls. The results revealed that excessive body weight in girls was correlated with flattening of the transverse arch and incorrect position of the heel in the right foot. No significant correlation was found between the Cole's index and the assessed parameters of the foot in boys.

“…Estos resultados son coincidentes a los observados por Pauk et al (2010), en niños de Polonia, donde las niñas presentan una mayor elevación del arco plantar respecto a los niños en estudio. En otro estudio realizado en población turca, se determinan valores de 35,5% para las niñas y de 28,5% para los niños (Cetin et al, 2011).…”

RESUMEN:Los problemas ortopédicos del pie en el niño son los más frecuentes en esta época de la vida. Por esto, es importante hacer la diferenciación entre un pie normal y un pie alterado. El objetivo fue determinar la prevalencia de pie plano y pie cavo en alumnos de enseñanza básica de Arica. 420 alumnos (210 niñas y 210 niños) de 3 diferentes tipos de colegios de enseñanza básica de la ciudad de Arica, en edades de entre 6 a 12 años, aparentemente sanos, fueron medidos. A todos los sujetos en estudio se les realizó una evaluación podoscópica de la huella plantar desde el plano anteroposterior. A los padres, apoderados y profesores se les aplicó una encuesta sobre el grado de conocimiento y las implicancias de estas anomalías. Los resultados muestran en los niños varones una prevalencia de un 31,6% para pie plano y un 11,6% para pie cavo, en relación a un 56,8% de niños con pie normal. En las niñas los valores indican un 24,3% para pie plano y un 14,4% para pie cavo. El peso y el índice de masa corporal presentan una correlación positiva en la expresión de anomalías de pie en la población estudiantil de Arica-Chile. El Colegio "Regimiento Rancagua", de tipo municipal, gratuito, presenta los más altos índices de anomalías de pie (45%), Colegio particular (43%) y el Colegio particular subvencionado, los menores índices con un valor de 35%. En el análisis de las encuestas se observa que padres a apoderados tienen pocos conocimientos sobre estas alteraciones y sus consecuencias en la postura. Pie plano es la anomalía de mayor conocimiento por padres y los profesores. Se concluye que pie plano presenta mayor prevalencia en la población estudiantil de Arica, con un 28% y pie cavo una prevalencia total de un 13%.PALABRAS CLAVE: Alteraciones posturales; Educación básica; Niños; Arica-Chile. INTRODUCCIÓNA nivel general podemos definir el pie como una compleja estructura de huesos, músculos y tejidos conectivos que corresponde a la parte de la extremidad inferior que comienza a partir de los tobillos hacia abajo, esencial para la posición bípeda humana y la locomoción (Zurita & Cabello, 2002;Didia, 2011).El control de la postura o equilibrio corporal significa mantener el centro de gravedad con una fuerte base de sustentación y la integración de varios sistemas, bajo el control del sistema nervioso, incorporando los órganos vestibulares, cerebelo, vías visuales, propiocepción y sensibilidad superficial y profunda. La expresión de la marcha es por definición la pérdida y recuperación alterna del equilibrio, por esencia es una de las actividades más importantes de la vida diaria (Ibañez et al., 2008; Espinoza-Navarro, et al., 2009).Los pediatras suelen encontrar una gran variedad de alteraciones en la postura de las piernas y de los pies, desde el período de nacimiento hasta la adolescencia. Los problemas ortopédicos del pie en el niño son los más frecuentes en esta época de la vida. Por este motivo es importante hacer la diferenciación entre un pie normal y un pie alterado que necesita tratamiento del especialista en fo...

“…Since the early 2000s, there has been a noticeable increase in research on the topic of overweight and obesity in children and their impact on posture and foot structure, showing that children with normal body weight or underweight and children with above-normal body weight experience problems with abnormalities in foot structure. These abnormalities were associated with the occurrence of flat feet [ 6 , 24 ]. Foot defects affected more than half of the examined children.…”

“…Similar results were obtained in a group of preschool children by Walicka-Curpryś et al [ 22 ]. Pauk et al found an increased risk of flat feet in children with above-normal body weight due to their less active lifestyle [ 24 ]. Discrepancies between the findings of Pauk et al again focused on the age of the examined children.…”

Background The human foot has a complex structure and the ligamentous and muscular apparatus undergoes transformation and adaptation during its ontogenetic development. Excessive body mass may be one of the factors disrupting proper foot formation. This study aimed to assess the foot structure in preschool children in relation to body mass. Material/Methods A total of 105 children aged 6.27±0.60 years were examined. Height, weight, and segmental body composition were determined using the Tanita MC-780 body composition analyzer. The foot structure was assessed using the Kasperczyk method, supplemented with digital analysis using the Podoscan 2D camera. The Weisflog index and gamma angle for feet were calculated. Children were divided into 2 groups: children in Group I did not have foot deformities and those in Group II had foot deformities. Results No correlation was observed between body mass and the occurrence of anomalies in foot structure. A correlation was noted between the Weisflog index for the right foot and height in both groups. The Weisflog index for both feet was correlated with BMI, with higher values obtained for the left foot in both groups. In Group II, a correlation was observed between the gamma angle value for the left foot and the predicted muscle mass for the right lower limb, as well as between the same foot and the predicted muscle mass for the left lower limb. Conclusions No correlation was observed between high BMI and the occurrence of anomalies in foot structure. A relationship was identified between muscle mass and foot structure.
