Efectividad del vendaje neuromuscular y la técnica de Risser en niños con pie plano.

Abstract

The decrease or absence of the medial longitudinal arch produces a muscular imbalance in the ascending chains of the lower limb. This deformity can be corrected from 4 years of age to prevent the onset or progression of symptoms such as pain in the foot or constant falls. The objective of this work is to determine the effectiveness of the neuromuscular bandage plus the Risser technique in children with flat feet. A prospective, pre-experimental study with a quantitative approach, longitudinal cut and descriptive scope was carried out, in which 30 patients who met the inclusion criteria participated. The evaluation was made by using the plantígrafo and analyzing the footprint with the method of Hernández Corvo. It was shown that the normal foot improved by 17%, the initial unilateral flat foot was 10%, which increased by 10%, on the other hand the initial bilateral flat foot was 90%, this decreased by 27%. As for the percentage of flat feet, at the beginning it was 80%, this decreased considerably to 20% in the left foot and 23% in the right foot. Half of the population increased the initial percentage of Hernández Corvo's method from 1 to 5%. The research concludes that the neuromuscular bandage and the Risser technique improved the anatomical condition of flat feet in children.
