Flott artikkel. Så vidt jeg har skjønt så er det vel heller ikke holdepunkter for at bruk av ortopediske fotsenger til barn forebygger plattfot som voksen? Noen voksne som selv var plattfot og brukte fotsenger, tror at egne barn bør ha dette profylaktisk.
Takk for flott artikkel. Fysioterapeuter i kommunehelsetjenesten møter mange av disse barna. Derfor har vi i Trondheim kommune laget en kunnskapsbasert retningslinje på hvordan følge opp, og retningslinjen er revidert i 2025 (1). Fint å se at både ortopeder og fysioterapeuter er på bølgelengde her, at barneplattfot er en normaltilstand som sjelden gir plager og krever oppfølging. Vi fant også at bruk av dyre, tilpassede såler har ikke bedre effekt enn vanlige såler og er derfor ikke anbefalt (2).
