CHILDREN’S FEET
AN ALARM fOR CHILDREN’S FOOT HEALTH:
According to a study of Glasgow Caledonian University & society of chirorevealed:
- 4 Out of 5 school children are rapidly developing foot problem due to wrong or ill-fitting footwear.
- 83% school starters are wearing shoes that are too small,
“Many parents grossly underestimate the importance of looking after their child’s feet while they are growing.” ---Gordon watt.
“Unlike adult feet, children’s feet grow. The study showed that children’s feet were at serious risk because they were contained in an environment that restricted their growing feet. Children are born with relatively soft & flexible cartilage which gradually converts to bone with age. As they are growing, their feet are vulnerable to injury and deformity due to ill-fitting footwear.”
Parents are more keen to buy a fashionable pair of shoes for their children, which is risky.
“Parents have to start taking greater responsibility for the health of their child’s feet. Having their feet correctly fitted for shoes, looking at their shoes to identify to identify any unusual wear, checking their feet regularly, and taking them to a registered podiatrist for professional advice if there are problems or concerns.
CHILDREN'S SHOE
Most of the children shoes are made of very low cushion or hard synthetic cushion which can not bear the load of pressure due to their fast walking, running, jumping etc. As a result their foot gets enormous stress & pain. Child’s complain about leg pain or foot pain often ignored by their parents, or misinterpreted as growing pain. Early care and importance can easily save the foot health of children.
