This study was done to find if the orthotic treatment is efficient in treating flat foot.
A recent study
demonstrated that the orthotic treatment for posterior tibial
tendon dysfunction stages I and II (flat foot) is effective in relieving the
pain. Orthotic treatment can be used for decreasing pain in patients with flat
foot. However, more research is required for high-intensity monitored exercise
programmes and individualized orthotic treatment.
This study was done to
find if the orthotic treatment is efficient in treating flat foot.
In this study, patients
who were treated with orthotic treatments after getting diagnosed with flat
foot in the early stage were chosen. The results examined were any symptom
associated with flat foot. They were evaluated with the help of Cochrane
collaboration risk of bias tool.
The study included 186
subjects and four randomized
controlled trials articles. Three distinct forms of traditional therapy were
used in the studies: footwear, stretching /strengthening exercises and
foot/ankle-foot orthoses. Foot orthoses, along with exercise programmes, worked
to progress the outcomes of orthotic treatment.
It was concluded that the
orthotic treatment helped in lowering the pain in the early stages of flat
foot.
