Noun explanation of flat foot

Flat foot refers to a deformity in which the arch of the foot is low or disappears, and the arch of the foot collapses when standing or walking, causing foot pain. There are two kinds of flatfeet: congenital and acquired.

Flat feet are very common in our daily life. Many people do not do a good job of preventing some problems that are very easy to appear on their feet immediately, which will easily lead to the appearance of flat feet. Flat foot has long been a very common kind of foot, and there are many reasons for its appearance, such as genetic factors, congenital foot deformity and so on. Let's master what flat feet are.

Flat feet have always been a common kind of feet. I firmly believe that some people don't know what flat feet are. Flat feet are congenital and acquired, so it is also important to prevent them, especially in infancy.

1. Genetic factors: Investigation and analysis show that if parents have flat feet, their children will be more likely to get sick than other children. Genetic factors play a key role in the pathogenesis of flatfoot. Generally speaking, genes are more common.

2. Congenital deformity of foot bone: If the position and shape of navicular bone are abnormal, metatarsal bone and ankle joint fracture are abnormal, it will affect all normal structures of foot. The medial common arch of foot is composed of ankle fracture, scaphoid, talus and medial metatarsal 1~3, which has good ductility and is suitable for bouncing and buffering fluctuations. The arches on both sides of the foot are composed of ankle fractures, cuboid bones and the 4th and 5th metatarsals, which are related to the maintenance of standing load-bearing posture. Due to the congenital deformity of the foot bone, the arch structure will be abnormal, and the arch will collapse or extend, resulting in flat feet.

3. Foot trauma or diffuse muscle strain: Foot trauma will cause foot bone fracture, destroy all normal structures of the foot, cause abnormal arch of the foot, and then cause flat feet; Long-term overload of the foot, or standing for a long time, will cause diffuse muscle strain of the soft tissue and joints of the foot, which can cause flat feet.

4. Abnormal foot muscles: for example, the tibialis anterior muscle and fibula muscle are abnormal, and the muscles inside and on both sides of the foot are soft. This factor leads to the imbalance of muscle and cruciate ligament support when the foot is loaded, which will cause flat feet for a long time.

Flat feet or flat feet, also known as big feet, have low or no soles, which will affect walking due to pain in severe cases. Flat feet usually begin to develop from the stage of teenagers and children, including teenagers and children, adults, reducibility or softness, muscle stiffness and other types in clinical medicine.

Flat feet are soft and reversible in the early stage of the disease, in other words, the appearance is normal when the feet are not walking, so many people don't know that they are flat feet, but once they stand up and put their feet on the ground, the arch of their feet, in other words, disappears. This situation can be that there are no obvious symptoms, or the feet and calves are very tired, especially after walking for a long time, which naturally hurts more, so that it is impossible to sign up for outdoor activities. As mentioned above, the situation can not be corrected immediately, and it is very easy to deteriorate after many years or adulthood, leading to muscle stiffness and flat feet. At this time, the pain will be aggravated, the foot shape will not change, and even obvious disability will occur, which will seriously affect all normal walking and normal daily life.

Feet are like the roadbed of a skyscraper. If the roadbed is unstable, it will collapse, so the house must be dangerous. Similarly, more serious foot diseases will cause leg pain, hip pain, intervertebral disc pain, cervical pain, and even continue to cause visceral problems in the chest and abdomen, so we can't ignore foot diseases, especially serious foot diseases like flat feet.

The treatment of flatfoot can be divided into observation and follow-up, orthopedic shoes or orthopedic insole, plaster fixation, surgical treatment and other methods. Among them, the observation and follow-up methods are mostly used for children with flat feet, because the arch of children will not fully grow and develop until 7 ~ 10 years old.

Everyone should have an unforgettable understanding of what flat feet are. Flat feet have a great influence on our daily life. This disease is hereditary. If mom and dad have flat feet, the probability of children appearing will be great. It is most important to prevent the appearance of flat feet immediately. Children should not be allowed to walk too early or stand for too long.
