Title: Occurrence of flatfeet and level of postural stability of children aged 6-11 years Objectives: The target of my study was to do screening of postural stability and foot arch of primary school children. Another aim was to verify the incidence the relationship between functional flatfoot and postural stability among 6-11 age children with the usage of podoscope and dynamic balance test Mini BESTest. Methods: The research was processed in 7. elementary schools located in Chomutov. In total participed 227 children 6 - 11 years old. The stability was evaluated according set of tests Mini-BESTest: Balance Evaluation Systems Test ©. Flat arch was examined by podoscope with two cameras and software MultiReha®. Data were evaluated in Microsoft Office Excel and RStudio. Results: The average score of Mini BESTest of the monitored subject was 24,32. Females got higer score (24,66) compared to males (24,08). Physiological arch of the foot was diagnosed for 67 % of students, flatfoot for 14 %, highfoot for 19 %. The foot arch does not have influence on postural stability of pupils in younger school age. Keywords: Mini BESTest, stability, foot arch, functional flatfoot, primary school age.

Title: Effect of constitutional hypermobility, obesity and the condition of the foot arch on the results of the Véle test of primary school children Objektives: The aim of my study was to establish whether the foot arch, scope of joint mobility and body weight affects the postural stability of primary school children. Another aim was to compare the incidence of functional flatfoot, constitutional hypermobility and obesity or overweight among school age children. Methods: The data were processed from selected primary schools in Prague 6. In total participed 854 children 7 - 12 years old. The used methods were common and accessible physiotherapy methods. The stability was evaluated according Véle test. Flat foot was examined aspection in standing, assessment of flexibility was performed while standing on tiptoes. Hypermoblity was determined using test according to Janda and body weight was determined by body mass index. Data were evaluated in Microsoft Office Excel. Results: We found that the evaluation of the Véle test better performance girls than boys. Rigid flat foot was more common in pupils of 2nd class, functional flat foot in pupils of 6th class. Constitutional hypermobility suffer more girls 2nd class, overweight or obese suffer more girls of 6th class. We found that functional flat foot has...
