Foot deformities pose a health challenge of the 21st century, since a high percentage of preschool and early school age have some of the deformities of the foot, which is the most common, with sloping instep. The survey was conducted in order to examine the differences in the status of the arch of the foot in preschool children, from Bijeljina (Bosnia and Herzegovina).
