Hello,
I would like to examine your child personally before any opinion can be given. X-ray of the feet should be done. Passive manipulations may be helpful. Therapeutic games should be designed for the child.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Nirmal Chander Gupta, Orthopaedic Surgeon

Hi,
Flat feet are generally correctible and correct itself when the child starts walking by himself.
In the meantime, I would suggest that he should walk on grass or sand without shoes to build up his foot muscles. Development of foot muscles is required for future also.
In my opinion, 1.5 yr old child should not be subjected to any orthosis.
