Paediatric Podiatry

Areas of Specialisation

Paediatric podiatry is a specialised area of podiatric medicine focused on the assessment, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of foot and lower-limb conditions in infants, children, and adolescents. Early intervention supports healthy development, prevents long-term complications, and promotes optimal movement throughout growth.

1. Developmental Foot & Postural Conditions

  • Flexible and rigid paediatric flatfoot
  • High-arched (cavus) foot types
  • In-toeing and out-toeing gait patterns
  • Delayed or abnormal walking development

2. Paediatric Gait Analysis & Biomechanics

  • Static and dynamic gait assessment
  • Lower-limb alignment during growth phases
  • Plantar pressure and loading analysis
  • Walking and running mechanics in children

3. Congenital & Structural Foot Disorders

  • Clubfoot (CTEV) long-term functional management
  • Metatarsus adductus
  • Vertical talus
  • Congenital toe and forefoot deformities

4. Neurological & Developmental Conditions

  • Cerebral palsy–related foot and ankle deformities
  • Autism spectrum–associated gait patterns
  • Hypotonia and hypertonia affecting foot posture
  • Spina bifida and neuromuscular foot care

5. Paediatric Sports Podiatry

  • Sever's disease (calcaneal apophysitis)
  • Overuse and growth-plate related injuries
  • Heel, ankle, and forefoot pain in young athletes
  • Injury prevention and performance optimisation

6. Paediatric Skin & Nail Conditions

  • Ingrown toenails
  • Plantar warts (verrucae)
  • Nail dystrophies and abnormalities
  • Paediatric fungal nail and skin infections

7. Paediatric Orthotics & Footwear Prescription

  • Custom orthotic therapy for children
  • Growth-appropriate orthotic review and modification
  • School, sports, and corrective footwear advice

8. Toe Walking & Lower-Limb Postural Disorders

  • Idiopathic toe walking
  • Differentiation between habitual and neurological causes
  • Calf and Achilles muscle tightness management

9. High-Risk Paediatric Foot Care

  • Paediatric diabetes foot screening and monitoring
  • Preventive foot care for children with systemic conditions

10. Parent & Child Education

  • Understanding normal versus abnormal foot development
