    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric orthopedics
    • Biomechanics
    • Podiatry

    Background:

    • Children's functional and behavioral development necessitates tailored orthotic interventions.
    • Foot and lower limb conditions in pediatric populations vary significantly with age.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To outline age-dependent orthotic therapy strategies for children.
    • To detail orthotic treatment approaches for common pediatric foot and lower limb conditions.

    Main Methods:

    • Categorization of pediatric age groups for orthotic management: 7-18 months, 18 months-3 years, 3-6 years, 6-10 years, and over 10 years.
    • Review of orthotic interventions for specific conditions including excessive pronation, intoeing, out-toeing, pes cavus, peroneal spastic flatfoot, calcaneal apophysitis, and os vesalianum.

    Main Results:

    • Specific orthotic approaches are recommended for each defined pediatric age bracket.
    • Effective orthotic therapies have been identified for a range of pediatric lower limb deformities and pathologies.

    Conclusions:

    • Age-specific orthotic therapy is crucial for addressing functional and behavioral needs in children.
    • A comprehensive understanding of age-related orthotic management aids in treating diverse pediatric foot conditions.
