Abstract
In a study of 50 children, the Dynamic Stabilizing Innersole System (DSIS) was found to decrease the mean resting calcaneal stance position (RCSP) by an average of 6 degrees. A comparison between the neutral calcaneal stance position and the RCSP with the DSIS showed no statistically significant difference between the means for the right or left foot, indicating that the DSIS is capable of returning severe flat foot deformities to their neutral calcaneal stance position. The RCSP with and without the DSIS differed significantly, indicating that the DSIS provides a considerable and statistically significant amount of correction in the RCSP in our study population. Furthermore, the results of linear regression showed that the DSIS appears to be sensitive to the severity of the deformity, preventing overcorrection of less severe flatfoot deformities and providing a long awaited alternative to traditional pediatric corrective flatfoot devices.
