What this Trial Is About
Researchers are evaluating the effects of combining UCBL orthosis and toe walking exercises to treat pes planus, a condition characterized by flat feet. This study aims to provide evidence on the benefits of this conservative treatment approach by observing changes in specific foot angles. The study is an interventional observation cohort focusing on children aged 3 to 10 years with pes planus. Participants will receive a UCBL orthosis device and be instructed on toe walking exercises as part of the treatment. The study involves regular monitoring with standing foot X-rays taken annually to assess changes. These images will help measure the talometatarsal angle and calcaneal pitch angle to evaluate treatment effects over approximately one year. During the study, participants will have their foot angles monitored through annual radiographs to check progress. Researchers will compare changes in these angles to determine the treatment impact. The study lasts about one year, during which participants will be observed for changes in foot structure while following the prescribed orthosis use and exercises.
