- Abstract
In last years of the 20th and in beginning of the 21st centuries, we observe the increasing number of children with feet deformities. There are valgus or valgo -- planus deformity because of shortening of m. triceps surae and Achilles tendon. The development of these deformities is connected with function -- walking, sometimes with incorrect therapy. The primary cause of shortening of flexors of feet and also, of other flexors of other joints, is minimal brain dysfunction (MBD), often in a form of ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder) -- connected with complications during pregnancy and in delivery. The authors described etiopathogenesis of deformities, as well the accompanying deformities in knees and in position of pelvis. In the article there are presented also the methods of physiotherapy.
