摘要

The effects of foot orthoses and foot exercise on foot deformity in children with developmental delay are unclear. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of a modified module insole and foot exercise on foot deformity in children with development delay. We recruited subjects from outpatient clinics of early intervention for children with development delay in Taipei City Hospital. The inclusion criteria were (1) evidence of low arch or no arch in either foot while standing or walking, (2) independent walking, and (3) age from 3 to 12 years. The 95 participants were classified into three groups: (1) modified module insole with exercise group, (2) modified module insole group, and (3) control group. We measured the Arch Index (AI) from static foot pressure assessments at initial evaluation and after 8 weeks of intervention. The results showed that the modified module insole with exercise group had more improvement in the AI than the other two groups (P＜0.05). In conclusion, early intervention with a modified module insole with exercise is suggested for the treatment of foot deformity in children with development delay.
