Let's be honest, touching your toes was a lot easier in primary school. And as we age, reaching all the way down to your feet can seem as difficult as learning a second language. So help out your family member with diabetes at home. A daily foot check can be done on the couch, even with the cricket playing on the TV. So before giving your nearest and dearest that subtle head tilt to ‘please remove your feet from the coffee table’, take a moment to check their foot health first. Check out out patient web page for even more info and make sure to print out our handy 'Daily Foot Care Checklist' and stick it on the fridge for an easy reminder. https://www.diabeticfootaustralia.org/for-patients/ -feet

Orthotics vs Foot exercises

The effects of short foot exercises and arch
support insoles on improvement in the medial
longitudinal arch and dynamic balance of
flexible flatfoot patients
Eun-Kyung Kim, PT, PhD, Jin Seop Kim, PT, PhD
J. Phys. Ther. Sci. 28: 3136–3139, 2016
[Purpose] The purpose of the present study is to apply short foot exercises and arch support insoles
in order to improve the medial longitudinal arch of flatfoot and compare the results to identify the effects of the
foregoing exercises on the dynamic balance of the feet and the lower limbs.
[Subjects and Methods] Fourteen university
students with flexible flatfoot were selected by conducting navicular drop tests and randomly assigned to a
short foot exercise group of seven subjects and an arch support insoles group of seven subjects. The intervention in
the experiment was implemented for 30 minutes per time, three times per week for five weeks in total. [Results] In
inter-group comparison conducted through navicular drop tests and Y-balance tests, the short foot exercise group
showed significant differences. Among intra-group comparisons, in navicular drop tests, the short foot exercise
group showed significant decreases. In Y-balance tests, both the short foot exercise group and the arch support insoles
group showed significant increases.
[Conclusion] In the present study, it could be seen that to improve flatfoot,
applying short foot exercises was more effective than applying arch support insoles in terms of medial longitudinal
arch improvement and dynamic balance ability
