96 children aged 3 to 5 years from «Sueños de Martí» day-care center in Cienfuegos municipality were analyzed to observe any podalic deformity and the care given to the affected children. A physical orthopedic examination focused on podalic deformities was carried out. Some aspects of interest were considered such as age, sex, podalic deformities, foot-related deformities and previous orthopedic treatment. These podalic problems were found in 80.7 % of the group; flat foot was the most common and predominant in boys; genus valgun was the most observed foot-associated deformity. Over 70 % of affected children had not been orthopedically treated before. Affected children were cared for with correction exercises and a physical exercise program was made to be included in the planned activities of the mentioned day-care center
