| The formation features of some anthropometric parameters and indicators of blood supply to the distal lower extremi- ties have been studied for pre-pubertal (7-12 years) and pubertal (12-16 years) children with flat feet. A decrease in pulse volume and maximum velocity of foot arterial blood flow has been found along with an increase of post-capillary vascular tonus testifying to the venous outflow obstruction. Low values of muscle and bone components have also been revealed to be additional pathogenetic factors in the development of flat feet. |
