摘要:

扁平足一种常见的足部畸形。在婴幼儿时期属正常生理状态，随着年龄增长，部分儿童足弓会逐渐形成，部分儿童则会逐渐出现症状，并且足部畸形一直持续到成年。扁平足可以根据负重条件下正常足弓高度是否存在分为柔韧性扁平足和僵硬性扁平足。随着近些年家长对于该疾病的逐渐重视，更多柔韧性扁平足的患儿能够在早期得到诊断，并进行干预。矫形鞋垫治疗往往作为该类患者的首选治疗方法。本文将梳理目前采用矫形鞋垫治疗儿童柔韧性扁平足的相关研究的现状和不足，对该领域未来的发展做出展望。

Abstract:

Flat foot is a common foot deformity in children, while which is a normal physiological state in infancy. As children grow old- er, some children will gradually form foot arches, whereas some children will have this deformity continuously into adulthood with symp- toms. The flat foot can be divided into flexible flat foot and rigid flat foot based on the presence or absence of normal arch height under load- ing conditions. As parents pay more attention to this disorder in recent years, more and more children will be diagnosed of flexible flat feet at early stage and receive intervention. Orthotic insole is the first choice for such patients. In this paper, the current status and shortcomings of the research on the use of orthotic insoles for flexible flat foot in children will be summarized, additionally, the future development of this field will be prospected.
