Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to test if wearing custom-fitted supportive socks with built-in insoles, along with a foot exercise program, can improve foot posture, The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate whether wearing custom-fitted supportive socks with built-in insoles, along with a foot exercise program, can improve foot posture, walking ability, and foot comfort in children aged five to twelve years with flexible flat feet.

The main questions this study aims to answer are:

Does the use of supportive socks with insoles and exercises improve foot posture and the shape of the foot arch? Does this combined approach improve walking ability and overall foot comfort? Researchers will compare children who wear supportive socks with built-in insoles and perform exercises to children who perform the same exercise program without the supportive socks to see which approach is more effective.

Participants will:

Wear the assigned supportive socks for 6-8 hours each day during daily activities if allocated to the socks group.

Perform foot exercises with a physical therapist for six weeks. Take part in assessments of foot posture, walking ability, and foot comfort at the start and after six weeks Data collection is currently in progress. The findings of this study may help support non-surgical treatment options for children with flexible flat feet.
