O pé torto congênito (PTC) é uma deformidade musculoesquelética que pode apresentar alterações persistentes relacionadas à mobilidade, equilíbrio, marcha e funcionalidade, mesmo após a correção pelo método de Ponseti. Nesse contexto, a fisioterapia pode contribuir para o acompanhamento e manejo das alterações funcionais desses indivíduos. Objetivo: Analisar as intervenções fisioterapêuticas utilizadas no tratamento das alterações posturais e funcionais decorrentes do pé torto congênito e seus efeitos sobre mobilidade, força muscular, equilíbrio, postura, marcha e funcionalidade. Metodologia: Trata-se de uma revisão de literatura, realizada a partir de estudos publicados entre 2022 e 2026, nas bases de dados PubMed/MEDLINE e PEDro. Após a identificação, triagem e aplicação dos critérios de elegibilidade, foram incluídos 29 estudos para análise. Conclusão: O estudo que avaliou diretamente uma intervenção fisioterapêutica demonstrou resultados favoráveis, especialmente por meio da associação de mobilização articular, alongamentos, fortalecimento, equilíbrio, propriocepção e exercícios funcionais. Entretanto, observou-se que ainda são poucos os estudos que investigam diretamente a efetividade de programas fisioterapêuticos específicos, enquanto grande parte da literatura concentra-se na identificação das alterações biomecânicas e funcionais presentes após o tratamento.
