Title: An update on the role of podiatrists in sports medicine
Abstract: Introduction: sports medicine is certainly the domain of physicians, whereas, there are some places where it is that of nonphysicians. With the general increase in sporting activities there has been an increase in sports injuries, both from acute and from overuse trauma. Podiatry emerges as solution for athletes and sports players. The objective was to characterize the role of podiatrists in sports medicine. Methods: a literature review was conducted, where 19 articles in English and Spanish were selected, published in the last five years on the subject, in databases such as: Scopus, PubMed, Researchgate, Springer. Results: podiatry has its peak in this area when sports lesions were addressed not only preventively but also via biomechanical methods. The physician recognizing and addressing the biomechanical abnormality may potentially prevent an injury that could have led to a subsequently missed competition. The role of prevention in athletes is centered on a comprehensive biomechanical examination combined with an understanding of the risk factors for common overuse or traumatic injuries. The fit feet exam is a screening of the lower extremities of Olympics athletes. It includes musculoskeletal, dermatological and biomechanics evaluations. Conclusions: the evaluation of an athlete finds it base in a deep understanding of the feet biomechanics. Physical examination allows to recognize the patient´s needs and identify possible pathologies. The treatment includes conservative and non-conservative indications, most popular are medication, footwear modifications and orthoses.

Title: Structural and functional disorders in pediatric patients’ foot
Abstract: Introduction: Foot deformities in pediatric patients comprise a broad group of disorders. They are the result of the interaction of exogenous and endogenous factors that can influence the infant's psychomotor development. Objective: To characterize structural and functional defects of the foot in pediatric patients. Method: A literature review was conducted. The search was conducted in the Scielo, PubMed, and Episteminokos databases using keywords and descriptors. A total of 44 studies were found, and 21 were selected to fulfill the objective of this study. Development: The foot requires a perfect anatomical and physiological arrangement to ensure the fulfillment of its functions: walking and standing. Many of the disorders develop physiologically and are adequately resolved with conservative treatment. However, there are disorders that have a structural component and require intensive treatment (surgical in some cases) to ensure adequate psychomotor development. Disorders such as flatfoot and varus equinus are common in these age groups. Conclusions: There are multiple structural or functional disorders of the foot in pediatric patients. They involve a complex condition that goes beyond the framework of a deformity, with a strong genetic or congestive component in its etiology or the conjunction of multiple exogenous factors. Each presents a distinctive symptomatic presentation depending on the characteristic anatomical defect.

Title: Structural and functional disorders in children’s feet, motor development, and preventive approaches in early life
Abstract: Pediatric podiatry addresses structural and functional disorders of the foot in children (0-18 years), which are crucial for motor and postural development and overall health. Children's feet, which are constantly evolving until the age of 14, have tissue plasticity that favors early corrections but also makes them vulnerable to deformities such as flexible flat feet (physiological in infants, resolves spontaneously in >90% of cases), clubfoot (requires early Ponseti method), and adducted metatarsus (90% spontaneous resolution in flexible cases). . Gait abnormalities (intra/extraversion, idiopathic toe walking) are usually normal transient variants. Early detection is vital: persistent pain, limping, visible deformities, or asymmetrical shoe wear require evaluation. Diagnosis combines physical examination (toe walking test, alignment analysis) and imaging (X-ray, MRI) to differentiate physiological variants from pathologies (e.g., tarsal coalition in rigid flatfoot). Key preventive strategies include the use of appropriate footwear, motor stimulation, and good postural/hygienic habits. Multidisciplinary intervention (podiatrist, orthopedist, physical therapist) should take advantage of the window of childhood plasticity (<7 years), prioritizing conservative approaches (orthotics, exercises) over surgical ones. Annual checkups starting at 3-4 years of age optimize prognoses and prevent complications in adulthood.

Title: Evidence-based pediatric podiatry: literature review and update
Abstract: Introduction: Pediatric podiatry has become established as an essential discipline in the comprehensive approach to the developing child. Alterations in the morphology and functionality of the children's foot, such as flexible flatfoot, are frequent reasons for consultation and require careful evaluation based on scientific evidence. Objective: This narrative review aims to analyze the evolution of knowledge on the anatomy and physiology of the children's foot, identify the prevalent podiatric conditions in childhood, review the main therapeutic interventions available and update the role of the podiatrist in the current clinical context. Methods. A search for information was carried out in the period May - July 2025, in the databases SciELO, Scopus, PubMed / MedLine, the Google Scholar search engine, Cochrane Library, as well as in the Clinical Keys services. Only those studies of the type systematic reviews, meta-analyses, randomized controlled trials (RCTs), controlled clinical trials (CCTs), observational studies and cross-sectional designs were selected. Results: Evidence shows that most cases of flexible flatfoot in childhood are physiological and do not require treatment, except in the presence of symptoms. Foot orthoses, functional re-education exercises, and appropriate footwear have proven effective in selected cases. In particular, intrinsic muscle strengthening programs have shown improvements in the plantar arch and gait. Current clinical practice remains variable, making ongoing training and the adoption of standardized protocols crucial. Conclusions: Timely, individualized, and evidence-guided intervention can prevent long-term musculoskeletal complications, improve locomotor function, and contribute to a better quality of life in childhood. The role of the pediatric podiatrist should be integrated into the multidisciplinary team for a comprehensive approach to child development.

Title: Biomechanics and orthopodology: a comprehensive functional analysis of the foot and ankle for clinical practice
Abstract: This review explores biomechanics and orthopodology as key disciplines in the study and treatment of foot and ankle pathologies. Biomechanics analyzes the structure and function of the foot during movement, identifying dysfunctions that affect gait, posture, and the kinetic chain (knee, hip, spine). Orthopodology applies this knowledge through non-surgical solutions, such as custom foot orthoses and therapeutic footwear, to correct alterations and redistribute pressure. Biomechanical assessment combines technologies such as pressure plates, 3D motion capture, and electromyography to measure parameters (force distribution, joint angles, contact time). Foot orthoses, classified as rigid, semi-rigid, and soft, are designed with advanced materials (carbon fiber, elastomers) and techniques such as 3D printing to adapt to specific pathologies (plantar fasciitis, diabetic foot). Therapeutic footwear improves stability, cushioning, and alignment, preventing injuries in conditions such as metatarsalgia and digital deformities. The integration of biomechanics and orthopaedics optimizes diagnosis and treatment, improving patients' mobility and quality of life. Technological innovations promise more precise and personalized interventions.
