Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
How effective is sensorimotor and supportive insole therapy compared to a neutral insole for children with flat feet? This question is to be answered on the basis of subjective patient satisfaction, using questionnaires (OxAFQ-C, AOFAS) and objective criteria (range of motion of the foot and ankle, standing on one leg, tiptoeing, FPI, pedobarography, muscle activity measurement using adhesive electrodes). After 3 months, only the questionnaires are sent to the test subjects. After 6 and 12 months, in addition to answering the questionnaires, the objective criteria (see above) are determined.	—
