Zusammenfassung

Kinderfüße zeigen typische Unterschiede in der Morphologie und Funktion im Vergleich zu Erwachsenen. Was sind Besonderheiten der kindlichen Fußstruktur? Welche Belastungen wirken bei Spiel und Bewegung? Welchen Einfluss hat körperliche und sportliche Aktivität? Besteht ein Zusammenhang zw. der Kraft und motorischen Funktion der Füße? Welchen Einfluss hat Übergewicht auf die kindliche Fußentwicklung? Antworten darauf soll diese Übersichtsarbeit geben.

Abstract

Children’s feet show characteristic differences in the morphology and function compared to adult’s feet. Due to that, children’s feet cannot yet identically serve the requirements for static (standing/support) and dynamic (shock absorption, walking) tasks and conditions compared to adults. What are the peculiarities of the child’s foot structure and development? Which loads affect the child’s foot structure during play and movements? What influence does physical activity and sport have on these? Is there a correlation between the force and the motor function of the child’s feet? What influence do overweight and obesity have on the child’s foot development? Answers to this should be given in this review.
