A medially posted orthotic to protect the paediatric plano-valgus foot
The Problem:
| All toddlers have flat feet because of a low angle of calcaneal inclination, by five to six years this angle has increased, and in most cases, a medial longitudinal arch becomes apparent. | |
| Inclination of the calcaneus is vital to the foot, as if there is a reduced or negative calcaneal inclination the plantar aponeurosis will be lengthened, the windlass mechanism will not occur, and the foot will not achieve supination at the propulsive phase of gait. | |
| The most significant feature of paediatric pes plano-valgus (pathological flat foot) is medial bulging in the area of the talo-navicular joint. The medial longitudinal arch is usually low, but not always completely absent. A collapse of the mid-tarsal joint indicates that the calcaneus has been forced to rotate postero-laterally under the talus. The talus will assume a more medial and vertical position as the sustentaculum tali loses its supporting position beneath the neck of the talus. These changes render the foot ineffectual at withstanding the forces of ground reaction, which are highest at the propulsive phase of gait. |
The Concept:
| Early treatment is vital, for if a child continues to walk on this foot type, the condition rapidly becomes irretrievable. Control of the child’s foot needs to be achieved quickly & comfortably by utilising a triplanar wedge directed against the talo-navicular bulge & medial arch, which will increase the calcaneal inclination angle. As the calcaneus is dorsiflexed it will also adduct, restoring talo-calcaneal congruency. | |
| Restoring alignment in this way helps to maintain the stability of the foot. Support of the foot also controls the internal leg rotation associated with sub-talar joint pronation and thereby reduces other symptoms such as knee pain (e.g. Osgood-Schlatters disease). Prevention of the collapse of the medial arch will reduce the strain on supportive ligaments and other soft tissues, thereby allowing the patient to enjoy running and walking whilst remaining symptom free |

Nicely Made Shirt
Color: Blue 1, Size: Medium
Linen is always nice. This material does not easily wrinkle. The material is think but not see-through. It is not an athletic fit but fits well on my very buff son. The size is correct for what I normally order for him. The color is more pail than in the picture, but that's to be expected with linen. We have purchased 3 more colors.

A Perfect Shirt for a Wedding!
Color: White, Size: Large
Perfect, my son needed for a wedding, and there are just so many shirts, hard to know which one to choose. This shirt was it! It fit great, looked very nice, good quality. Very good for summer, it's not stiff and fabric is softer than an oxford. I did iron it out of the package since it was folded, and it ironed beautifully. Traveled in the car on a hanger with the suit jacket, wore next day to wedding. We got a size large, he's 5'8" and about 170 and it was good, and not gigantic like some large, the short sleeves were just right, there was enough length to tuck in. The collar was just right and buttoned for a tie. Once the dancing started and jackets came off, it survived well, and still looked great at the end of the night (tails out by then). Could not have done better at a Men's Warehouse for a lot more money.
