Research on identification of abnormal foot arch in school-age children based on foot pressure analysis

Abstract

Abnormal arch can have a persistent impact on children's gait, causing severe foot diseases include hallux valgus and foot valgus, even causing irreversible interference with gait in adulthood. Therefore, it is of very important theoretical and practical significance to realize the early identification and abnormal arch identification of school-age children. In this paper, a method for rapid identification of foot arch based on plantar pressure was used to conduct foot pressure test and foot arch identification experiments on 16 school-age children of grade 3. The study found that 12.5% of the male students had flatfoot on their left foot and 62.5% had flatfoot on their right foot; Among the female students, 25% were left flatfoot and 37.5% were right flatfoot. It can be seen that the abnormal arch in school-age children is more common, which should be paid more attention to. In addition, medical diagnosis and intervention treatment are performed as early as possible.
