Flat Foot both
longitudinal and metatarsal arches have collapsed, ankles and
knee fall inward and no arches are visible.
Symptoms:
General foot fatigue, poor balance
Ankle, knee, lower back pain
Calluses under big toe/bunions
Shoulder fall forward/slouching
More energy required to run or stand long periods of time.
Distinguishing features:
Inner wall of shoes streched & worn, foot appears abnormally wide,
ankle and cuboid bone protruding inward, no arch visible.
Possible causes:
Hereditary, poor quality shoes (sole of shoe too soft), walking
style, injury, wearing ill-fitting shoes,etc.
Solution:
'2.ft Orthotics' designed to reshape and realign both longitudinal
and metatarsal arches.
Note: Children with flat feet often achieve permanent correction;
custom-fitted orthotics develop arches provided they are worn
daily (prescribed time) and the child is below the age of 10 years
old.
