Brief Summary

Flatfoot, one of the most common foot problems experienced by preschool-aged children, characterized by the collapse of the foot's medial longitudinal arch. Children with motor developmental delay often have flatfoot, according to clinical observation, and research indicates that preschool age is the main stage of the medial longitudinal arch development period. There flatfoot symptoms due to poor arch shock effect, poor walking endurance, likely to cause gait problems while growing up. The lack of a stable foot structure to support and maintain posture may lead to delayed motor development. Early training intervention and help to balance stability is the main rehabilitation goal for motor developmental delayed children. With understanding of the foot development of motor development delayed children, proper intervention can be provided to improve the movement and stability of the lower limbs. The possible deformation of the foot structure and resultant pain in the future can also be prevented.
