Summary

This trial tests whether custom-fitted supportive socks with built-in insoles, combined with a foot exercise program, can improve foot posture, walking ability, and comfort in children aged 5 to 12 with flexible flat feet. One group wears the socks for 6-8 hours daily plus exercises, while the other does exercises alone. Researchers measure changes in foot arch and alignment over six weeks.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
custom-fitted supportive socks with integrated insoles
What this could lead to
If effective, this non-surgical approach could offer a simple, comfortable way to improve foot posture and walking ability in children with flat feet.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with 56 children, so results may not apply to all cases. The socks may not provide lasting benefits beyond the study period.
