The aim of this study was to identify and summarize the relevant literature on flat feet and to determine its prevalence. Proper posture is a basic prerequisite for normal growth and development. Foot deformities have a decisive influence on the functional state of the locomotor system, and the foot bears the greatest load during the static and dynamic function of the locomotor system. A search of electronic databases (PubMed, SCIndex and Google Scholar) found and analyzed papers published in the period from 2006 to 2020, and a descriptive method was used to analyze the data. The results of the study show a higher frequency of flat feet in male children. Also, the frequency of flat feet varies from 78.9% to 22.4%, and malnutrition significantly affects the prevalence of this deformity, while the frequency of flat feet decreases with age.
