Flatfoot symptoms

summary

My son has eight character feet. When he walks more, he will say that his feet hurt and he doesn't want to walk. So today I'd like to talk about the knowledge of flatfoot symptoms.

Flatfoot symptoms

First of all, flatfoot pain, usually located in the medial plantar (hind medial pain), and aggravated after long-term standing or walking, and often can appear progressive aggravation. Occasionally, the pain may be located near the lateral malleolus. This is due to the collapse of the arch of the foot, resulting in the valgus of the hind foot, and then the impact of the fibula and calcaneus.

Second, flatfoot will appear swelling, yo, in fact, walking more words, pain, swelling outside the joint, especially at the foot navicular tubercle. Abnormal gait, foot pain and arch collapse can cause the decline of running and even walking ability, and abnormal gait, such as the outer eight character gait.

Third, pain and abnormal gait can affect other joints of the body, such as excessive valgus and internal rotation of the affected foot, resulting in compensatory valgus of the knee and compensatory external rotation of the hip, which may lead to pain and arthritis of the knee, hip, lower back and other parts. Individual flat foot patients may have the following back pain as the only symptom. In severe flatfoot deformity, other joints of foot and ankle are involved, such as subtalar joint and transverse tarsal joint.

matters needing attention

Flat foot precautions and young people should try to wear soft soled shoes or sports shoes, so as not to restrict the normal development of the arch. Usually wear shoes to the right size, preferably with heel shoes, but girls should not wear high heels. These flatfoot precautions are also more important.
