The influence of valgus heel position on foot loading in a child's gait

Original language description

BACKGROUND: Flat foot is a typical clinical sign in childhood, expressed as valgus positioning of the heel during vertical foot loading. This may lead to medial deviation of the foot axis and cause overloading of some foot areas. OBJECTIVE: To determinethe influence of valgus position of the heel (both bilateral and unilateral) on foot loading during gait. METHODS: An experimental group consisting of children with bilateral heel valgus deformity (16 children, age 5.3 +/- 1.3 years) and children with unilateral heel valgus deformity (14 children, age 5.6 +/- 1.6 years). The control group comprised of 14 children (age 4.5 +/- 1.2 years). For measuring foot loading during gait, the Footscan (RSScan International, Olen, Belgium) pressure plate was used. Each subject went through 8 trials of gait measurement. From each trial, 8 foot areas were evaluated. Data processing with mean values for each subject was performed by non-parametric tests (Mann-Whitney and Wilcoxon tests, Spearman correl
