Abstract
Pedobarography is a perspective method of feet pathology diagnosis. It evaluates not only static load on the foot, but also functional condition of the feet during movement. Material and methods. Plantar pressure distribution was assessed in 74 healthy children and 98 children with bilateral pes planovalgus. The frontal dynamic index (FDI) was used for evaluation of a valgus deviation of the foot. Results. A statistically significant decrease in the FDI to 50.01 in the younger and to 52.18 in the older age group was observed. Diagnostic efficiency of the FDI was defined. Characteristic changes of plantar pressure distribution in children with pes planovalgus were described.
