The participant’s age was between 0 to 16 years. The parents were requested to fill out the Pediatric and Adolescent Flatfoot Questionnaire. The questionnaire (available in English in the Supplementary Materials ) consisted of 20 items that assessed foot pain, activity limitation, and physical and social problems caused by the flatfoot. The study also covered the participants’ symptoms, their level of awareness about their condition, and the impact of the deformity on their lives (6 questions). There was no significant difference in terms of pain between patients with flexible or rigid flatfoot (p = 0.934).
