It also has more than 100 muscles, tendons, and ligaments.  <\/p>\n\n<p>The ligaments provide spring to the step and help distribute body weight across the feet and legs. The structure of the arches determines how a person walks. ligaments must be solid and flexible to adapt to pressure and a variety of surfaces.  <\/p>\n\n<p>When people have flat feet, their feet may turn to the inner side when standing and walking. This is known as overpronation, and may also cause the feet to point outward.   <\/p>\n\n<p>People often develop flat feet in childhood. However, the condition can also develop in adulthood. Many people with flat feet experience no symptoms, but others will experience various symptoms that generally depend on the severity of the condition.    <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Types of flat feet<\/h2>\n\n<p>In general, there are two types of flat feet: <\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Flexible flat foot<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/asayedissa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/&#x627;&#x644;&#x642;&#x62F;&#x645;-&#x627;&#x644;&#x645;&#x633;&#x637;&#x62D;&#x629;-4.jpg\" alt=\"flat foot\" class=\"wp-image-5672\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<p>This condition most commonly affects children. When the child stands, the arch of his foot will disappear. When sitting or walking on tiptoes the arch will appear and be visible again.  <\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Rigid flat foot<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>When a person has a rigid flat foot, the arch will not form regardless of whether the patient puts weight on the foot or not, such as when standing. This condition can affect children and can develop in adults.   <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Symptoms of flat foot<\/h2>\n\n<p>The most common symptom of a flat foot is pain in the foot. This can be caused by tension in the muscles and associated ligaments. <\/p>\n\n<p>Abnormal stresses on the knee and hip may lead to pain in these joints. These stresses are more likely to occur if the ankles turn inward. <\/p>\n\n<p>Pain, and sometimes swelling or stiffness, most commonly affects the following parts of the body:  <\/p>\n\n<p>\u2022 Ankle<\/p>\n\n<p>\u2022 Arch of the foot<\/p>\n\n<p>\u2022 Calf<\/p>\n\n<p>\u2022 Knee<\/p>\n\n<p>\u2022 Hip<\/p>\n\n<p>\u2022 Lower back<\/p>\n\n<p>\u2022 The bottom of the foot<\/p>\n\n<p>Flat feet can also cause uneven distribution of body weight. This can cause the shoes to wear unevenly or more quickly than usual, especially on one side, which can lead to further injuries. People may have difficulty walking or running symmetrically.    <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Causes and risk factors<\/h2>\n\n<p>There are several causes and factors involved in developing flat foot.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Common risks include:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>\u2022 Obesity<\/p>\n\n<p>\u2022 Pregnancy Diabetes<\/p>\n\n<p>\u2022 Diabetes<\/p>\n\n<p>\u2022 Trauma to the feet<\/p>\n\n<p>\u2022 Having family members with this condition (Hereditary)<\/p>\n\n<p>\u2022 Developing a condition that can affect the tendons<\/p>\n\n<p>\u2022 Being of young age<\/p>\n\n<p>\u2022 Being an older adult<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/asayedissa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/&#x627;&#x644;&#x642;&#x62F;&#x645;-&#x627;&#x644;&#x645;&#x633;&#x637;&#x62D;&#x629;-5.jpg\" alt=\"flat foot\" class=\"wp-image-5674\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<p><strong>Common causes include:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>\u2022 Genetic factors, such as flat feet, can be passed from parents to children in genes  <\/p>\n\n<p>\u2022 Weak arches, which means that the arch is visible when the person is sitting but the foot is flat on the ground when the person is standing <\/p>\n\n<p>\u2022 Foot or ankle injuries<\/p>\n\n<p>\u2022 Stress on the arches of the feet due to excess weight<\/p>\n\n<p>\u2022 Arthritis or rheumatoid arthritis<\/p>\n\n<p>\u2022 Damage, dysfunction, or rupture of the posterior tibial tendon<\/p>\n\n<p>\u2022 Diseases of the nervous system or muscles, such as spina bifida, muscular atrophy, or cerebral palsy   <\/p>\n\n<p>\u2022 Tarsal coalition, which causes the bones of the foot to fuse in an unusual way, which leads to stiffness and flattening of the feet  <\/p>\n\n<p>\u2022 Long-term use of the feet, which can weaken the posterior tibial tendon, the primary support structure for the arch of the foot, with age.   <\/p>\n\n<p>\u2022 Tendonitis, which is a tear from overuse, or other damage to the tendon  <\/p>\n\n<p>\u2022 Developmental abnormalities that can develop in childhood, with age, or after pregnancy  <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Flat foot in children<\/h2>\n\n<p>Babies are usually born with minimal visible arches, and it may take some time to develop arches that remain stable. When a child has flexible flat feet, this may not happen until after the age of five.   <\/p>\n\n<p>Most children with flat feet usually develop typical arches by the age of 10, and having flat feet during early childhood does not mean that a person will always have flat feet. <\/p>\n\n<p>However, if a child has flat feet due to improper bone development or another condition, such as spina bifida, a doctor will often need to treat the underlying cause.   <\/p>\n\n<p>When flat feet develop in adulthood, there is usually an underlying medical cause. <\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/asayedissa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/&#x627;&#x644;&#x642;&#x62F;&#x645;-&#x627;&#x644;&#x645;&#x633;&#x637;&#x62D;&#x629;-6.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5676\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<p>The arch of the foot develops slowly over time and is fully developed by the age of two or three years.

The individual may need to stand on their tiptoes to allow the doctor to examine the form and function of each foot. <\/p>\n\n<p>The doctor will also take into account the person&#8217;s medical history. They may order an X-ray, CT scan, MRI, or electromyography in some cases. <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Exercises<\/h2>\n\n<p>Your podiatrist or physical therapist may recommend specific exercises to control flatfoot symptoms or prevent their progression.<\/p>\n\n<p>In a 2020 study, researchers found that participants in this study&#8217;s gait and foot alignment improved after just 8 weeks of foot exercises. <\/p>\n\n<p>The American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons recommends the following exercises to improve strength and flexibility in the feet and ankles, which may help relieve the symptoms of flat feet. <\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Stretching the Achilles tendon<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>A tight Achilles tendon will encourage the foot to turn inward. Stretching aims to stretch the Achilles tendon and hind leg muscles. <\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/asayedissa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/&#x627;&#x644;&#x642;&#x62F;&#x645;-&#x627;&#x644;&#x645;&#x633;&#x637;&#x62D;&#x629;-9.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5682\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<p><strong>To perform the heel cord extension, a person must: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>1. Stand facing a wall and place one hand on the wall at eye level.<\/p>\n\n<p>2. Place the leg that needs to be extended about one step behind the other leg, and place the heel firmly on the ground. <\/p>\n\n<p>3. Bend the knee of the front leg until you feel a stretch in the back leg.<\/p>\n\n<p>4. Hold for 30 seconds, then rest for 30 seconds.<\/p>\n\n<p>5. Repeat for nine more times. It is necessary to avoid arching the back and keep it straight. <\/p>\n\n<p>This exercise should be performed twice a day.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Roll the golf ball<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>This exercise requires a chair and a golf ball.<\/p>\n\n<p>Sit on a chair with feet firmly on the floor. Place a golf ball under the foot, and roll it back and forth under the arch of the foot for two minutes to stretch the plantar fascia ligament.  <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Treatment of the flat foot<\/h2>\n\n<p>Some people with flat feet may automatically align their limbs in a way that prevents symptoms. People without symptoms usually do not need treatment. If flat feet are causing pain, supportive, well-fitted shoes can help, and extra-wide shoes can provide comfort.    <\/p>\n\n<p>Children usually need treatment for flat feet. If they are in pain, they may need to use insoles and fitted orthotics. Specially designed arch supports may relieve pressure on the arch and reduce pain if the foot turns inward too much.   <\/p>\n\n<p>Some bones do not develop properly in childhood, which may cause flat feet to persist from birth into adulthood. In these rare cases, surgical intervention may be necessary to separate the fused bones.   <\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/asayedissa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/&#x627;&#x644;&#x642;&#x62F;&#x645;-&#x627;&#x644;&#x645;&#x633;&#x637;&#x62D;&#x629;-13.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5690\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<p>Adults can also use foot orthotics, and people with posterior tibial tendonitis may benefit from having a wedge inserted into their shoes along the inside edge of the orthosis. This should relieve some of the body&#8217;s load on the tendon tissue.  <\/p>\n\n<p>However, a person should use orthotics under the supervision of a doctor, because using the wrong orthotics or using them incorrectly can worsen symptoms.  <\/p>\n\n<p>A person can also take nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications to relieve pain. In cases where obesity is a contributing factor, your doctor may recommend eating a healthy diet and exercising to reach a healthy BMI and reduce stress on your braces.  <\/p>\n\n<p>Wearing an ankle brace may also be helpful to reduce inflammation. Doctors may advise some patients to rest until their symptoms improve and to avoid activities that may worsen their foot condition. <\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/asayedissa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/&#x627;&#x644;&#x642;&#x62F;&#x645;-&#x627;&#x644;&#x645;&#x633;&#x637;&#x62D;&#x629;-12.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5688\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<p>A person with arthritis or a ruptured tendon may find that a combination of using insoles and taking pain relievers can reduce their symptoms. If this treatment plan does not work, then surgery is necessary.  <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Outlook<\/h2>\n\n<p>Children with flexible flat feet often outgrow this condition. When a person has flat feet or it is caused by an underlying condition, the prognosis will depend on the severity of the symptoms and the treatment required.  <\/p>\n\n<p>Treatment may be difficult when the cause is a degenerative disease and symptoms worsen over time. When surgery is necessary, the prognosis is generally good. Exercising can help improve the outlook for some people. However, having flat feet may also mean that a person will need to avoid high-impact activities.     <\/p>\n\n<p>A person should consult a doctor to determine the best treatment plan for him.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Complications<\/h2>\n\n<p>People with other foot, ankle, or lower leg problems may find that flat feet have worsening symptoms.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/asayedissa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/&#x627;&#x644;&#x642;&#x62F;&#x645;-&#x627;&#x644;&#x645;&#x633;&#x637;&#x62D;&#x629;-14.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5692\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<p>Examples of this include:<\/p>\n\n<p>\u2022 Achilles tendinitis<\/p>\n\n<p>\u2022 Arthritis of the ankle<\/p>\n\n<p>\u2022 Arthritis in the foot<\/p>\n\n<p>\u2022 bunions<\/p>\n\n<p>\u2022 hammer toe<\/p>\n\n<p>\u2022 Plantar fasciitis, which is an inflammation of the ligaments on the sole <\/p>\n\n<p>\u2022 Posterior tibial tendonitis<\/p>\n\n<p>\u2022 Shin splints<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Summary<\/h2>\n\n<p>Flat feet occur when a person has a weak or absent arch of the foot, often causing problems walking and sometimes pain.
