4. Heritability of Flat Foot
Flat foot is not a 100% hereditary disease, but a general dominant inheritance. Many people get this disease together, and children can easily inherit it.
5. Hereditary flatfoot
If you find that you have a genetic tendency, you should often practice walking with the outer edge of the sole of your foot. Physical therapy is also effective in the early stage. The specific methods are as follows: walk on tiptoe and bend on tiptoe. In addition, you can wear a flat-footed insole or a flat-footed orthopedic shoes to raise the inside of the heel and make the load-bearing line move outward, thus preventing and reducing foot fatigue.
6, flat foot sports articles
First of all, the first aspect is to insist on doing foot exercise every day. Of course, we can do toe exercises or lateral foot exercises. However, we must pay attention to our proper exercise, otherwise it will only aggravate the fatigue on our feet. We should also pay attention to reducing the load on the arch to prevent us from walking too much with the arch.
The second aspect is that we flat-footed people are not suitable for long-term exercise. Alas, you must not engage in strenuous activities, you must not stand for a long time, and you must let your feet get a full rest. In addition, our patients can soak their feet with hot water every day, which can reduce the fatigue of their feet. Sticking to foot massage every day can relieve pain.
The third aspect is that our patients can use corrective shoes or insoles. Although this may not correct the foot bones, it can obviously alleviate the pain of patients. Also, alas, when choosing shoes, we must try to wear medium-high shoes and avoid flat shoes.
