summary

A few days ago, I went on an outing with my friends. His feet didn't hurt very much after a long walk. Later I learned that he had flat feet. Many friends didn't know much about flat feet. Here's to share some relevant knowledge.

What does flatfoot mean

First, flatfoot is mostly caused by abnormal foot bones or genetic factors. Flatfoot (commonly known as flatfoot) refers to the loss of normal medial longitudinal arch of the foot.

Second, in addition to heredity, there are also foot muscle abnormalities: abnormal insertion of tibialis anterior muscle and fibula muscle, soft and soft medial and lateral muscles of foot, and unbalanced force on foot muscle and ligament when loading. Foot bone abnormalities: abnormal position and shape of scaphoid, parascaphoid, metatarsal and calcaneus.

Third, most patients with flatfoot belong to flexible flatfoot, there is normal arch in the state of non weight bearing, and the arch disappears after weight bearing.

matters needing attention

Patients with flat feet should pay attention not to walk too much, and the choice of shoes is very important. They should try to wear soft soled shoes or sports shoes during activities, so as not to restrict the normal development of the arch of the foot. Usually wear shoes to the right size, preferably with heel shoes, but girls should not wear high heels.
