Flat feet or pes planus is an abnormality characterized by excessive pronation of the foot that leads to an internal rotation of the tibia and femur, as well as an anterior pelvic tilt. 8 This disorder disturbs the kinematics of lower extremities, the ground reaction forces, the muscle movement and overall gait. 8 Flat feet can be classified ...
10 paź 2024 · In both sexes, moderate and severe pes planus correlate significantly with anterior knee pain and LBP at varying rates . A study clearly demonstrated a significant correlation between alterations in the medial longitudinal arch and changes in lumbar curvature that cause LBP.
23 maj 2023 · In symptomatic patients, there may be complaints of midfoot, heel, lower leg, knee, hip, and or back pain. Patients with more advanced changes may complain of an altered gait pattern. Patients who typically overpronate will be at high risk for ankle sprains from chronic “rolling of the ankle.”
1 paź 2021 · Flat foot can alter the lower limb alignment and cause knee and back pain. The incidence of spinal DJD in patients with flat foot is still unknown. Our study aimed to investigate this association by using a nationwide dataset with 1 million population up to 14 years follow-up.
A flat foot that moves freely without stiffness is a normal presentation in some children and adults and is due to an increase in flexibility of joints and ligaments. There can be a family history of this foot type and it tends to affect both feet equally.
5 cze 2023 · Estimates of pes planus (“flatfoot”) prevalence vary considerably across studies. Moreover, there is uncertainty over which factors are associated with the pes planus prevalence. We aimed to systematically review the prevalence and clinical factors associated with flatfoot among children and adults.
Some flexible flat feet may cause localised fatigue and pain, with a secondary reduction in mobility, play and athletic performance. Additionally, chronic, untreated or undertreated pes planus may produce unwanted long-term sequelae up the kinetic chain, with secondary ankle, knee, hip and even lumbar pathology.
