This episode dissects a network meta-analysis that evaluates the effectiveness of various non-surgical interventions for children diagnosed with pediatric flexible flatfoot. Researchers categorized treatments into active exercise-based physical therapy, such as neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) and corrective exercises, and passive orthotic interventions, including talus control insoles and corrective shoes.
