    Citation Excerpt :

    There are no controlled prospective studies showing the avoidance of long-term pain or disability by prophylactic nonoperative or operative treatment of asymptomatic flatfoot.3 There is, on the contrary, an abundance of studies advocating the absolute inefficiency of conservative treatments (shoe modifications and insoles) for correction of flatfoot deformity, with the exception of heel cord stretching exercise in case of concomitant Achilles brevis.27,28,29 Furthermore, according to Morley,3 nearly 100% of 2-year-old children are flatfooted, with a drop to 4% at age 10.
