Prognosis of the arch height correction could provide valuable information in prescribing appropriate treatment to reduce the consequences of flat-foot. The goal of this study was twofold. First we explored effect of foot orthotics wedging on the gait pattern of flat-footed children population. Then a simple model to predict arch height correction using six variables was proposed. Measured parameters included the arch height, X-ray measurement, and ground reaction force (GRF). The suggested model allows predicting of the arch height correction. The results show that foot orthotics has small, but a positive impact on the arch height correction.
