Data collection techniques using the wetfootprint pre test and post test. Results : There is an effect of using medial arch support on the reduction of flatfoot degrees. These results can be seen from the results of Wilcoxon test, which is known below the p value = 0,000. Then if the value of p <0.05. Conclusion: It can be concluded that there is an effect of medial use arh support for decreasing flatfoot degrees in children aged 8-12 years.
