Why is flat feet dangerous?

27 May 18

Flat feet is a disease that a person does not pay attention to for a long time until the pathology causes a change in the quality of life. The consequences of flat feet are far from harmless as they seem at first glance.

How flat feet interfere with a normal life

Those who have encountered this unpleasant disease know the dangers of flat feet. There is a deterioration in health:

  • a person constantly feels pain and heaviness in the legs, is unable to stand for a long time or walk long distances. The state of enjoying life to the fullest. You can’t go on a hike or an excursion; dancing and football are too tiring, especially if a young guy or girl is suffering from illness. Communication with peers will not be as interesting as it seems in the absence of illness. But flat feet interfere with more than just having fun. Any housework involves movement; sore legs slow down the activity. It happens that the development of the disease in adults even forces you to quit your favorite or well-paid job. For example, foot couriers, football players, models, product distributors are unlikely to be able to fully perform their duties with pain in their legs;
  • Due to foot deformation, it is difficult to choose comfortable, beautiful shoes. You have to buy something comfortable, which does not mean aesthetic and fashionable. A person is forced to ignore shoes that are suitable in price, color, style, forced to be content with only a comfortable fit on the foot.
  • Shoes for those suffering from flat feet wear out much faster due to excessive pressure at a certain point - the shoes are crushed on the inside of the foot and lose their original appearance.

    Crooked posture doesn't make anyone beautiful. The gait of a patient with flat feet looks unattractive. The aesthetic side of the disease causes a lot of trouble. People suffering from flat feet often experience a depressed psychological state, stiffness, and tightness.

    Diseases caused by flat feet

    From the beginning of its development, the disease brings a lot of unpleasant sensations to a person, creating a number of consequences that have a negative impact on the body. Let's look in detail at why flat feet are dangerous:

  • Arthrosis of the knee joint becomes a disease of adults caused by flat feet, and less often of others. This is a condition when the cartilage layer in the joints wears out, which is why the bones begin to contact each other, causing unbearable pain, and not only during active movement. The development of the disease is influenced by a violation of the shock-absorbing function of the foot. In normal condition, the longitudinal and transverse arches play an important role. When the foot becomes flat and unable to spring, the spring function is transferred to the ankle, knee and hip joints. These joints are not designed for such a load, and accordingly, they wear out quickly.
  • Children and young people, as a result of flat feet, receive curvature of the spine (scoliosis, lordosis, kyphosis). This is a serious illness, if measures are not taken (massage, swimming, physical therapy), even a hump will form. The spine pulls the internal organs with it. Body parts are deformed and functions are impaired. Deformed posture causes shortness of breath, poor heart function, kidney failure, and intestinal obstruction. If an important nerve is severely pinched, disability will occur.
  • Longitudinal flat feet cause the appearance of heel spurs due to the growth of the foot bone in the heel area. The growth is presented in the form of a spike or wedge. When stepping on the heel, a person experiences pain similar to that felt when wounded by a nail.

    The list of diseases whose development is affected by flat feet can be continued for a long time; only the most common ones are listed. It is important to know the dangers of flat feet and how to combat the disease. Let's take a closer look at the last point.

    Methods for treating flat feet

    Disposal methods include:

  • performing physical therapy to strengthen the muscles of the foot and correct its shape;
  • massage to improve blood flow and metabolism. It is advisable to stretch your feet and legs completely;
  • with a pronounced form of the disease, you will need to relieve your legs more. If a pupil or student suffers from an illness, it is worth taking an exemption from physical education, which provides the opportunity to engage in feasible exercise. For example, running or football are definitely not suitable; exemption from activities is recommended;
  • It is important to monitor your weight so that you do not exceed the norm. It’s easy to determine the maximum allowable value: subtract 100 from your height in centimeters;
  • electrical stimulation. The procedure is performed using a special device that acts on damaged tissues with current waves, which stimulates blood circulation and leads to the leaching of salts from the tendons. Electrical stimulation restores the functioning of the ligaments, allowing them to withstand physical activity again;
  • Kinesio taping for flat feet has become a new but effective treatment method. The idea is to apply elastic bands to the tissues surrounding the foot joint. The tapes are fixed using an adhesive base. The bands redistribute the load across muscle groups in an equal volume, the legs get less tired and at the same time perform a shock-absorbing function. The described method is applied to people with longitudinal and transverse flat feet;
  • If your legs hurt badly, you should take painkillers to relieve the pain so that the spasms do not cause additional curvature of the foot while walking.
  • The sooner measures are taken to get rid of flat feet, the better the result. If you experience suspicious fatigue and pain in your legs, you should immediately consult a doctor for examination.

    How to detect the disease in the early stages

    In the initial stages, flat feet are not visible to the naked eye; a plantograph is used for examination. This is a metal frame with a stretched canvas. During the examination, the canvas is smeared with special paint, and a sheet of paper is placed on top. A person carefully stands on the plantograph; footprints remain on the paper.

    The doctor proceeds to the analysis. To determine flat feet, the doctor draws two lines on each of the prints: the first connects the middle of the heel and the second the space between the toes; the second is the middle of the heel and the middle of the base of the big toe. The lines should not intersect with the middle of the foot. If the first passes through the print completely, the second through the beginning and end of the foot, the person has longitudinal flatfoot. When both cross the leg continuously, transverse.

    If desired, it is possible to imitate a plantograph at home by stretching a piece of fabric over a frame and smearing it with paint that transfers well and does not dry well on the fabric.

    An improved plantograph has been developed - a computer one, presented in the form of a scanner. The device transmits the image to a computer and processes it using technology, making the diagnosis accurate.

    After the examination, the doctor will recommend ways to get rid of the disease and slow down its progression.

    It is recommended to follow the doctor’s recommendations without exception; the approach to treatment is provided in a comprehensive manner to ensure a positive result.

    Unfortunately, a complete cure for flat feet in adults is impossible. Before the disease appears, measures must be taken to prevent the development of the disease.

    Disease prevention

    People have come up with many ways to avoid flat feet. Let's look at the main ones:

  • It is useful to engage in swimming, which develops all muscle groups, including the muscles of the feet.
  • Weightlifting, running, football, skating, and skiing provoke the development of flat feet in people predisposed to the disease. Relief from heavy and prolonged loads on the legs allows you to avoid the occurrence of a defect.
  • You should do gymnastic exercises every day to strengthen your leg muscles.
  • It is better to wear shoes with arch supports, especially when a person is going to put a lot of stress on their feet. The above applies to adults and children. Athletes (football players, runners, even dancers) know the stated rule and adhere to the correct shoe shape during training and during performances.
  • It is useful to massage the feet at the end of the day or during prolonged stress on the lower limbs (for example, driving).
  • Transverse flatfoot occurs more often due to improperly selected shoes. You should not save on the cost and time allocated for choosing shoes.
  • It is worth undergoing supportive physical procedures every year; electrical stimulation has proven itself well. The procedure without surgical intervention helps to cleanse the ligaments. Electrical stimulation allows you to relax them in case of excessive tension and tone them if the ligaments are weak.
  • To maintain normal metabolic processes, it is important to ensure that the whole body remains healthy: eat right, get enough sleep, and not be nervous.
  • It is important for athletes to change their training shoes every six months, especially for football players. Players' shoes are subject to additional injury and deformation: running across the field is chaotic, the game involves constantly hitting the ball, and if you miss it, it's easy to catch on the ground. Football players often step on each other's feet.
  • When starting to prevent or treat flat feet, do not forget that the disease is quite serious. It can even provoke disability, sometimes death, if the body succumbs to the influence of the consequences.

    What does flatfoot mean, what does it affect in men and women and the reasons for its development?

    A healthy foot is a correct natural connection of the moving bones that make up the two arches. Thanks to this feature, the arches perform a shock-absorbing function during human movements and help relieve stress on the legs. It happens that as a result of some factors or due to congenital defects, the foot becomes flat and almost completely comes into contact with the floor surface. According to statistics, among the adult population, flat feet occur in women 4 times more often than in men. Scientists believe that the reason for this lies in weaker muscles and ligaments of the foot, to which is added the love of women for uncomfortable high-heeled shoes. It should be noted that flat feet are fraught with the following diseases: osteochondrosis, spinal curvature of varying degrees, arthritis, migraines. All these are the consequences of flat feet.

    Disability

    The manifestation of the disease is fraught with sensations of pain and discomfort while walking and at rest. As the disease is ignored, a person brings it to the final stage, when effective treatment becomes almost impossible. In the final stages, a person begins to complain about many unpleasant sensations at once, and even whole body malfunctions:

  • Constant feeling of fatigue and heaviness in the legs, inability to walk long distances. This condition makes it difficult to spend time walking, going to dances, ice skating rinks, playing football, running and engaging in normal activities. In addition, flat feet can complicate the everyday life of adults. Any stress on the legs during professional or home work leads to rapid fatigue and pain in the foot area.
  • Inability to wear regular shoes. Habitual shoes can only be worn in the early stages of flatfoot development. At more advanced stages, wearing regular shoes becomes unbearable. For this reason, it is quite difficult for patients diagnosed with flat feet to choose comfortable and stylish shoes, because they directly affect their well-being. As a rule, in the last stages only orthopedic shoes are indicated. However, any used shoes quickly wear out from the inside, which makes their appearance unaesthetic and further wearing impossible.
  • Rachiocampsis. Uneven load on the legs causes curvature of the spinal vertebrae, which leads to unattractive posture and gait. Physical deficiencies of the body provoke psychological changes in a person: people become more withdrawn, their self-esteem and self-confidence decrease.
  • Not everyone understands why flat feet are dangerous, so they begin to seek qualified help only in advanced stages of the disease, when the consequences of flat feet become irreversible.

    Causes

    The main reasons for the development of flat feet in children and adults are:

  • Increased load on the feet. This is due to excessive physical activity, constant sports, and lack of proper physical rest. High loads can be caused by professional activities (carrying heavy loads, the need to constantly be “on your feet”). Increased stress is also observed in pregnant women and overweight people.
  • Weakened muscles and ligaments of the foot. As a rule, due to the weakness of these elements, which ensure that the foot is kept in the correct position, flattening of the foot develops. An inactive lifestyle and “sedentary” work can lead to weakening of ligaments; people over the age of 50 are especially susceptible to muscle weakening.
  • Injuries. Injuries that lead to the development of flat feet can be not only unsuccessful falls and bruises, but also conscious incorrect actions: wearing uncomfortable narrow high-heeled shoes, incorrect gait, etc.
  • Chronic diseases. Diseases that can cause the development of flat feet include: diabetes, problems with the gastrointestinal tract, bone diseases (rickets is especially dangerous in childhood), diseases of the endocrine system. If you do not pay attention to the impact of chronic diseases, other ailments may subsequently appear due to weakening of the immune system, muscles and other functioning components of the body.
  • The causes of flat feet are different: in some cases it is a congenital pathology, in others it is the result of unfavorable factors.

    Flat feet can cause many serious problems, in addition to pain, discomfort and the inability to wear your favorite shoes. In particular, flat feet often cause the appearance of other, more dangerous diseases:

  • Arthrosis of the knee joint. In the presence of this disease, wear and tear of the cartilage layer is noted, which leads to friction of the joints against each other. The result is unbearable pain, which makes it impossible not only to walk, but also to rest. Arthrosis occurs due to flattening of the arches of the feet, whose function is to absorb movement. After flattening, this “duty” is transferred to the ankle joint, which is not intended for this and quickly wears out.
  • Rachiocampsis. Curvature is the general name for a condition that can be caused by various diseases: scoliosis, kyphosis and others. At first glance, the disease proceeds unnoticed, however, if the necessary treatment is not provided in time, a hump may appear on the back. Treatment includes therapeutic exercises, massages, swimming and other beneficial exercises. Curvature of the spine affects the functioning of all organs and systems, so it is important to monitor your posture and back. Correct gait and posture should be developed from childhood.
  • The appearance of a heel spur. An unpleasant disease can occur as a result of longitudinal flatfoot, characterized by the growth of bone near the heel. The disease leads to acute pain that appears when pressing on the heel, in which case it is impossible to step on the painful area, and over time the gait becomes distorted.
  • Ingrown nail. This is one of the most common consequences of any type of flat feet. An ingrown toenail injures healthy soft tissue around the nail plate, worsens the appearance of the feet, and can cause bacterial or infectious infection. If the infection is not detected and treated in time, the consequences can be catastrophic, including death.
  • Disruption of other organs. It is known that on the sole there are many important points responsible for the smooth functioning of vision, hearing, gastrointestinal tract and other systems. Their improper functioning, due to the influence of flat feet, can lead to decreased hearing and vision, and intestinal dysfunction. If the causes of the disease are not identified in a timely manner and treatment is inadequate, a state of disability may occur.
  • The appearance of a specific “bone” on the big toe. This disease is a consequence of transverse flatfoot, which deforms the big toe. The appearance of a “bone” entails a lot of troubles – discomfort and severe pain, especially when walking in closed shoes.
  • Experts emphasize that to normalize life, it is very important that the patient’s weight is within normal limits. The maximum acceptable weight category is calculated by subtracting 100 from the height indicator. This is the only way to avoid the dangerous consequences of flat feet.

    Flat feet of any type respond well to treatment if it is carried out in the early stages of the disease. The most effective treatment methods are:

  • Exercise therapy. The complex of therapeutic and preventive physical education includes: massages, foot gymnastics, development of correct gait, correction of foot shape, etc.
  • Reducing loads. One of the main conditions is the mandatory reduction of stress on the legs. The doctor can issue an appropriate certificate for school-age children and students, as well as adults whose work requires constant physical activity. It is important to engage in exclusively feasible loads in order to eliminate flat feet.
  • Electrical stimulation. The stimulation procedure is carried out using special equipment, which stimulates an electric current to improve blood circulation in the legs and washes away salts from the tendons. Thanks to electrical stimulation, the natural functioning of the ligaments of the foot is restored, which helps to cure flat feet and return to their previous lifestyle. However, the procedure has contraindications, which the doctor should familiarize the patient with.
  • Kinesio taping. This method is relatively new in medical practice, and boils down to the application of special elastic bands to the tissues that surround the foot joint. The tapes are characterized by an adhesive base, due to which they are well fixed on the leg. Thanks to reliable fixation, the tapes provide a shock-absorbing function, which reduces joint friction and restores the correct position of the foot ligaments. The method can be used to treat both longitudinal and transverse flat feet.
  • Drug therapy. As a rule, this method is not aimed at directly treating the pathology, but at reducing pain symptoms and discomfort during walking and rest.
  • Despite the many methods for treating the disease in question, experts recommend paying maximum attention to weight control. Excess weight often leads to many health problems; it also makes treating flat feet much more difficult.

    Why is flat feet dangerous?

    Flat feet. Treatment options

    Currently, flat feet are one of the most common diseases. In Moscow alone, it has recently been diagnosed in 9,000 children. The problem with this disease is that it can only be treated at an early age. In an adult, it can only be slightly adjusted. Therefore, it is important to visit an orthopedist in a timely manner so that treatment can begin without wasting time.

    Indicative in this case is the story of the mother of one boy. Her son grew up to be a fairly well-fed boy from childhood. He didn't particularly like to run and seemed clumsy and slow. Even his gait was a little clubbed. The mother and the boy regularly visited a surgeon and an orthopedist, but until the age of seven, the child’s chart stated that he was healthy. The doctor did not diagnose any abnormalities.

    Everything changed when I had to undergo a preventive examination before entering first grade. The child was diagnosed with longitudinal flatfoot, which came as a complete surprise to the mother.

    In fact, it is almost impossible to make such a diagnosis to a young child, before five or six years old. Most children under two years of age have almost flat arches. The doctor can only draw the mother’s attention to a certain tendency towards the possible appearance of flat feet.

    While the baby is just learning to walk, the function of a shock absorber is performed by the fat pad on the sole, and not by the foot. The foot itself is fully formed before the age of six. It is at this age that we can already talk about the diagnosis of flat feet. But this does not mean that before the age of six there is no point in examining a child by an orthopedic doctor. Just at an early age, at the formation stage, it is possible to eliminate the tendency to develop flat feet and some other pathologies, for example, adduction of the foot. In the first months of life, an examination by an orthopedist and surgeon can reveal various congenital deformities of both the feet and the skeleton as a whole. For example, it is then that the so-called congenital flatfoot is diagnosed. In addition, the doctor can promptly identify the development of rickets, which can later lead to the formation of flat feet. At one year of age, the child is examined to assess joint mobility and range of motion. At three years old, gait and posture are checked, and the condition of the feet and the length of the limbs are also assessed. Therefore, routine visits to the surgeon and orthopedist are very important. Also, the mother herself can pay attention to some features in the child’s gait and react in time by seeking advice from a specialist.

    A diagnosis of flat feet made at six to seven years of age is not a death sentence. Proper treatment can lead, if not to complete healing, then to significant improvement.

    But the diagnosis itself is quite serious . Therefore, it is important not to brush aside the problem, but to urgently address it. With flat feet, the legs usually get tired quickly, are prone to swelling and pain, the feet continue to deform, bumps appear on the legs, heel spurs, and calluses. The gait is usually heavy and unsightly. Improper foot formation affects the entire body. The foot does not fully perform its shock-absorbing function. In this case, the role of a shock absorber has to be performed by the joints and spine. As a result of increased load - back pain, which can be osteochondrosis, herniated intervertebral discs, scoliosis, and arthrosis of the joints is added to them. Many people know that the foot is a rather sensitive organ. The special biological points located on it are connected with all internal organs. Accordingly, improper formation of the foot entails deterioration of the internal organs. It is not without reason that having flat feet is a contraindication to military service and to many serious professions. In this sense, flat feet are akin to disability and limit a person’s capabilities. Therefore, as soon as the diagnosis is made, you need to begin serious treatment. The chances of recovery are especially high if the disease is in its early stages. Discipline and regular practice can do wonders in this case.

    According to the stories of that same mother, according to the doctor’s recommendations, they began to do certain procedures and exercises every day. Daily foot baths with warm water up to 50 degrees and sea salt for just 15 minutes have a good relaxing effect. You definitely need to undergo a massage course of about 15 sessions from a good specialist. It’s not bad if mom can master the technique and then regularly repeat massage courses on her own. Most likely, the doctor will prescribe physiotherapeutic treatment, for example, electrophoresis and paraffin-ozokerite applications. Such procedures have a good effect on metabolic processes, improve blood circulation in tissues, which leads to strengthening the arch of the feet. At home, you need to spend half an hour daily doing therapeutic exercises. To do this, you will need to buy balls of different diameters, a massage roller, and a special rubber mat with a special texture. The child should roll the balls and the roller with both feet for several minutes, and just walk on the mat. It's good to walk on pebbles with your bare feet, or you can use beans or beans poured into a bowl. The doctor will most likely refer the child to a course of physical therapy, which will need to be completed at the clinic, and then special exercises will be regularly repeated at home. An active lifestyle will lead to correction of the child’s weight and the tendency to be overweight will certainly go away. This is also very good, since excess weight contributes to the development of flat feet, causing additional stress on the feet.

    When buying shoes for a child for the first steps, you should pay attention not only to design, price and material. It is mandatory to have a special footrest and a rigid high heel inside. The same principles should be followed when choosing shoes for older children. The sole should be fairly flexible, with a slight flat heel. If you don’t have a footrest, you need to order individual orthopedic insoles, which will have to be used constantly for both indoor and outdoor shoes. In particularly serious cases, the doctor will prescribe the use of special orthopedic shoes. Orthopedic insoles are very important at first; they will help prevent the formation and development of flat feet or correct mild flat feet. For healthy children, the stabilizer found in regular shoes is quite sufficient. Treating flat feet requires a lot of effort, but the results are worth it.

    How to choose children's shoes

    A child needs the right shoes from the earliest stages. When buying your first pair, you should follow the same principles as for older children. So the shoes should

  • be comfortable, do not rub and have a growth margin of approximately 1 cm,
  • be of high quality and made only from natural materials both inside and outside, preferably leather,
  • have a high and firm backside,
  • without squeezing the leg, secure the leg tightly with Velcro or laces,
  • have an internal stator,
  • have a non-slip, stable sole and a small flat heel.
  • Therapeutic exercises for legs

    It is recommended to perform physical therapy exercises at the first stage of flat feet, as this trains the muscles, strengthens the ligaments, improves blood circulation, normalizes muscle tone, ensures proper formation of the feet and correct gait. So, a few exercises of the complex.

    1. In a standing position, legs apart, toes pointing inward, alternately turn the body to the sides, while turning the corresponding foot to the outer edge.

    2. Walk with your toes tucked and then raised.

    3. Walk on your heels and toes.

    4. Walk for 15 minutes several times a day on your outer feet, pretending to be a clumsy bear.

    5. Use your toes to lift small objects, for example, parts from a construction set.

    6. Lying on the floor, turn your feet to the right, left, back and forth, bending and straightening your toes.

    7. While lying down, imagine that you are lying on the sand and try to rake up the imaginary sand with the soles of your feet.

    8. Stand on your toes and squat without lifting your heels off the floor.

    How to determine flat feet yourself

    When the child is already 4-5 years old, parents can independently conduct a simple test to determine the presence of flat feet. To do this, the child’s feet need to be smeared with gouache, rich cream or iodine and placed exactly on a sheet of paper. The result should be two clear footprints.

    Look at the tracks carefully. Normally, there should be a notch located along the inner edge of the foot, that is, there should be no imprint in this place. The notch should occupy an area of ​​more than half the width of the foot. If there is no notch at all or it is very narrow, from half of the foot and narrower, this indicates the presence of flat feet in one form or another.

    A procedure called plantography will help to professionally determine flat feet. The diagnosis is made based on the results of examination and plantography. Adults are given x-rays, but this method is not suitable for children under 9 years of age.

    A home inspection can also be done using the Friedland method. Using this method, you need to use a compass to measure the height of the child’s feet, that is, measure the distance from the floor to the highest part of the foot - the surface of the navicular bone and measure the length of the foot. The height of the foot is multiplied by 100 and divided by the length of the foot in millimeters. The value obtained from the calculations is called the podometric index. With an index value of 31-29, everything is fine, an index of 28-27 indicates the presence of a low arch, and an index of less than 25 is a clear sign of flat feet.

    Pebbles and drawing: how to save yourself from flat feet

    Why flat feet are dangerous and how to protect yourself from them

    A third of the world's population suffers from flat feet. Gazeta.Ru looked into how it occurs, why it is dangerous and how to protect yourself from it.

    The human foot is a complex organ designed for support and shock absorption when walking. It is customary to distinguish two arches of the foot - longitudinal and transverse. The longitudinal arch is much more pronounced than the transverse arch and acts as a spring, softening shocks when walking and running.

    The most common type of foot deformity is flat feet. It is expressed in the flattening of one or all arches of the foot. Depending on which arch of the foot is changed, flat feet can be longitudinal, transverse or longitudinal-transverse.

    The main danger of flat feet is a violation of the shock absorption function. Intense vibrations of the body during running or walking are not dampened by the foot, but are transmitted to the hip joints and spine. Changes in the skeletal system over time affect the condition of the body as a whole. They cause scoliosis, arthrosis, aching pain in the legs and fatigue.

    In total, up to a third of the world's population suffers from flat feet.

    “About 30% of people have flat feet,” notes orthopedist Victor Prisk. “One in ten people show symptoms.”

    A 2017 study conducted in Spain confirms these data: among 835 volunteers examined, 27% had flat feet. These were predominantly older people with excess body weight.

    All young children have flat feet to one degree or another. It is not due to deviations, but to the fact that the child’s leg is still growing and developing. Therefore, this diagnosis is not made until five or six years of age.

    Congenital flat feet are rare and account for only about 3% of cases. Almost always, the disease is acquired throughout life.

    Sometimes flat feet occur as a result of injuries and diseases, but in more than 80% of cases it is caused by other reasons - an increase in body weight associated with the profession, overload of the feet (long-term standing during work contributes to the development of the disease), wearing inappropriate shoes (narrow, uncomfortable , high heels), weakening of muscles caused by aging of the body.

    Other associated risk factors for developing flat feet are hypertension and diabetes .

    Also, flat feet often occur during pregnancy due to increased extensibility of a woman’s ligaments and muscles.

    The diagnosis is made primarily based on the results of radiography. A podoscope, a device for visually assessing the condition of the feet, can also be used for preliminary diagnosis. The most effective digital podoscopes are those that evaluate multiple geometric parameters.

    Depending on the condition of the foot, there are three degrees of flat feet. With first-degree flatfoot, the height of the arch of the foot is up to 35 mm, and no deformation of the foot is observed. With the second degree of flatfoot, signs of deforming arthrosis may appear. In the third, they are almost always present, and the height of the arch of the foot does not exceed 17 mm.

    When the foot is unable to spring and normally distribute the load when walking and running, it falls on other joints: knees, hips. They hurt, the person’s gait changes. The spine also suffers. Flat feet can lead to serious problems, including herniated discs.

    Flat feet, even at an early stage, are fraught with pain and heaviness in the legs, and rapid fatigue.

    In the following stages, swelling occurs, the plasticity of the gait decreases, and the arches of the feet gradually smooth out. Next, the knee joints are involved in the process, and then the entire leg and spine. Symptoms of varicose veins of the lower extremities are added: swelling, pain, burning sensation, heaviness, itching, visually protruding, blue veins, as well as back pain, especially in the lumbar region. The foot is noticeably deformed, the big toe deviates significantly outward.

    Changes are completely reversible only at the very beginning of the disease or in childhood, when the foot is not yet fully formed. Usually, special exercises for the feet are used for this - in particular, rolling objects or drawing with the feet. In more advanced cases, however, it is still possible to improve the patient’s well-being and prevent the disease from developing further. In addition to exercises, medications that relieve pain and tension, massage courses, special shoes and insoles are used.

    In severe cases of the disease, with serious deformities of the fingers, severe pain, surgical treatment of flat feet is indicated for patients.

    Prevention of flat feet is simple - just do not overload your feet (do not gain too much weight, play sports in special shoes, refuse to regularly wear high-heeled shoes), regularly walk barefoot on sand, grass, pebbles (in city conditions you can use special mats for this) ) and, if possible, massage the feet and perform exercises aimed at strengthening the muscles of the foot.

    Flat feet in children: what is dangerous and how to treat?

    Flat feet is a foot deformity characterized by a flattened arch. Even a slight deviation from the norm can affect the health and physical development of the child.

    The foot has 3 arches: 2 longitudinal (along the inner and outer edges of the foot) and 1 transverse (between the bases of the toes). The arches of the feet are designed to maintain balance and protect the body from shock when walking.

    Thanks to the presence of arches, the foot rests on the floor at three main points: the heel bone and the bases of the 1st and 5th toes. When the arches are straightened, the foot flattens and rests on the floor with its entire surface, which leads to a deterioration in its shock-absorbing properties and the development of symptoms of flat feet. Depending on the deformation of the arches, longitudinal and transverse flat feet are distinguished.

    There is congenital flatfoot, the cause of which is intrauterine

    developmental disorder. The appearance of the leg is characteristic, allowing for diagnosis

    still in the maternity hospital: the sole of the affected foot is convex, the outer part is turned outward.

    Flat feet in children

    In children under 2 years of age, flat feet are physiological - the longitudinal arch of the foot is always flat. By the age of 3, the bones become denser, the ligaments become stronger, and the joints take their true position: the “correct foot” begins to form. The process lasts up to 5 years, so only from this age can we talk about true flat feet.

    Controlling foot development

    You should not wait until the age of 5 to identify a child with flat feet. It is recommended to regularly visit an orthopedic doctor, who can determine the preconditions for improper foot formation. In this case, the doctor gives recommendations to prevent the development of foot deformities.

    The Russian healthcare system has developed a scheme for follow-up with an orthopedist for children:

  • the first visit is carried out at the age of 1 month - the doctor excludes congenital skeletal pathologies;
  • at 3 months - examination to exclude hip dysplasia; an ultrasound of the hip joints may also be required;
  • at 6 months – consultation aimed at identifying rickets;
  • at 12 months, the doctor monitors the correct development of the spine and its bends, the range of motion in the joints, and the formation of gait;
  • at 3 years old, an orthopedist checks gait, posture, and condition of the feet;
  • From 3 to 18 years of age, it is recommended to visit an orthopedist once a year, even in the absence of pathology.
  • rachitic – lack of vitamin D causes weakness of the foot muscles;
  • paralytic – occurs after polio;
  • traumatic – formed after a long stay of the foot in a cast due to a leg fracture;
  • static – occurs due to overload of the foot as a result of obesity.
  • Why is flat feet dangerous?

    Children with flat feet get tired faster and complain of pain in their legs while walking or hiking. Over time, back pain appears due to improper load on the spine. Scoliosis gradually develops - a curvature of the spinal column to the right or left.

    About the treatment of flat feet

    Treatment for flat feet should be long-term and complex. In fact, this is not even a treatment, but a certain way of life.

    Orthopedic insoles are indispensable in the treatment of flat feet. They help to “unload” the foot by correctly distributing the load. Insoles are selected individually, their height depends on the degree of flattening of the foot.

    Insoles should be placed not only in street shoes, but also in indoor shoes (which are strictly necessary to wear if you have flat feet!). As the baby grows and develops, the size and shape of the orthopedic insoles changes on the recommendation of the orthopedist.

    With severe flat feet, the child no longer needs insoles, but special orthopedic shoes. They not only create a physiologically correct base for the foot, but also stabilize the ankle joint thanks to rigid internal lateral support.

    This procedure helps the feet in the initial stages of flat feet. Every day before bed, it is recommended to take warm foot baths (water temperature 40–50 degrees Celsius) with sea salt. The duration of the procedure is 20 minutes. After the baths, it is recommended to perform self-massage - rolling your feet with special rollers or walking on rugs that can be found in an orthopedic salon.

    A child with flat feet is given professional massage courses and physiotherapeutic treatment is prescribed: electrophoresis, magnetic therapy, paraffin and ozokerite applications. Such procedures improve blood circulation, strengthen muscles and ligaments, promoting the proper formation of the foot.

    You should suspect flat feet and urgently consult an orthopedist in two cases:

  • if the child gets tired after a short walk (about half an hour);
  • when new boots lose their shape within 1–2 months after purchase.
  • Gymnastics for flat feet

    Therapeutic gymnastics plays an important role in the treatment of flat feet. A physical therapy instructor will help you choose the right set of exercises for your child and show you how to perform them correctly.

    For example, the following complexes are popular:

    Set of exercises for flat feet No. 1

    Starting position – standing.

    Ask your child to squat without lifting his heels off the floor. Repeat the exercise 4-6 times.

    Place sea stones, large beads, and buttons on the mat and invite the child to walk on the bumpy surface for 3-5 minutes.

    Have your child balance on the ball (under your control).

    Have your child roll a rolling pin with their feet while sitting on a chair.

    Set of exercises for flat feet No. 2

    Starting position – sitting on a chair.

    Have your child place one foot on the ball and the other on the floor. Invite him to swing the ball with his feet left and right and back and forth. Repeat 5 times.

    Then change legs and perform the exercise again.

    Invite your child to grab the ball with both feet and hold it for a few seconds, then put it on the floor. Repeat 4-6 times.

    Set of exercises for flat feet No. 3

    Starting position – sitting on a chair, feet on the floor.

    Ask the child to run the big toe of the right foot along the front surface of the shin of the left leg from bottom to top. Repeat 5 times.

    Do the same, changing legs.

    How to choose the right shoes?

    Shoes can be the “culprit” for flat feet, or they can help prevent the disease. Foot health largely depends on the correct choice of baby shoes. Shoes for the first steps must be of high quality and meet a number of requirements:

  • Shoes should be quite high, tightly grasp and fix (but not squeeze) the ankle joint. Carefully examine your baby's feet after a walk. If the tights or the boot's texture are imprinted on it, it means they are tight and should be replaced. The heel should be hard and high (up to the lower or middle third of the shin).
  • It is recommended to purchase leather shoes with a minimum number of internal seams
  • The sole should be hard, non-slip, with a small (up to 1.5 cm) heel. These shoes prevent sprains and hyperextension of the foot.
  • You cannot buy shoes either end to end or to grow, the gap should be no more than 1.5 cm.
  • When trying on, you need to take into account that the shoes have a margin that does not interfere with the child’s walking: about 1–1.5 cm.

    Explicit and hidden threats, or why is 3rd degree flat feet dangerous?

    Constant pain in the legs, headache, spinal pain, changes in gait, development of degenerative processes in the large joints of the lower extremities and in the lumbar spine. What do these pathological conditions have in common? The cause of all of these health problems is grade 3 flatfoot - a gross deformation of the foot, accompanied by significant flattening of the longitudinal and/or transverse arch.

    We often say that the root cause of diseases of the internal organs and joints is a disease of the spine, but we rarely remember that there is also a reverse cause-and-effect relationship. Degenerative processes in the spine can be secondary to another pathology of the musculoskeletal system, even if the pathological changes are localized in the distal part of the limb furthest from the spinal column - in the foot.

    Normally, the transverse and longitudinal arches of the foot perform a shock-absorbing function and protect the overlying parts of the musculoskeletal system from axial overloads that occur during static (when we stand) or dynamic (walking, running) physical activity. Flat feet of the 3rd degree leads to a permanent loss of the foot’s spring characteristics, as a result of which the role of “shock absorbers” has to be taken on by parts of the skeletal system that are not very adapted to this: the knees, hip joints, intervertebral joints and discs.

    Due to the abnormally high axial load, degenerative-dystrophic processes develop in the listed structures, in particular, arthrosis of large joints, intervertebral hernias, spinal deformity (increased lumbar lordosis, scoliosis) and osteochondrosis. And if in the initial stages of flatfoot the compensatory capabilities of the body are still preserved, then grade 3 flatfoot is characterized by complete depletion of reserves and progressive destruction of the structures of the musculoskeletal system.

    3rd degree flatfoot: clinical picture and diagnosis

    The main complaint with grade 3 flatfoot is pain, which has no clear localization. In the initial stages of the disease, the patient was primarily bothered by pain in the sole, which was joined by pain in the calf muscles and knee joint in the second stage. With the third degree of flat feet, the sole, knees, thigh muscles, hip joint, and lower back hurt. Moreover, the pain is constant, practically not relieved by rest and leads to permanent loss of ability to work. Even minimal physical activity provokes an exacerbation of pain.

    On examination, a pronounced deformation of the foot attracts attention: the arch is flattened, the foot is widened, the toes are deformed, the proximal part of the first toe deviates outward - exostosis of the head of the 1st metatarsal bone develops. A sharp deformation of the foot makes it almost impossible to use ordinary shoes: a person is forced to purchase orthopedic products made to order.

    Objective signs of longitudinal flatfoot of the 3rd degree are a decrease in the height of the arch to 17 millimeters or less, as well as an increase in the angle of the longitudinal arch over 156 °. To assess the degree of transverse flatfoot, it is customary to use another anthropometric indicator - the angle between the first and second metatarsal bones. If normally it does not exceed 10°, then with the third degree flatfoot increases to 15-20° or more.

    Flat feet 3rd degree and the army

    It is no coincidence that we began the material by talking about the consequences and complications of grade 3 flatfoot: deforming arthrosis and spinal pathology are faithful companions of this disease and can dominate the clinical picture. The presence of these complications makes the conscript unfit for military service, and therefore, if diagnosed with flat feet of the 3rd degree, the army is not scary for a young man. The only thing you need to understand is that the degree of flatfoot, as well as all complications of the underlying disease, must be indicated in the clinical diagnosis (including the stage of arthrosis of the knee and/or hip joints). The military commissar makes a decision based solely on the diagnosis, and not on the basis of complaints, examination or medical history.

    Young people with 2nd degree flat feet and signs of 2nd stage arthrosis of large joints of the lower extremities are also exempt from conscription. Clinical and radiological signs of such arthrosis are a narrowing of the joint space by 50% or more, as well as the presence of marginal growths on the articular surfaces. All these radiological signs indicating the stage of the disease must be listed in the clinical diagnosis, otherwise it will be extremely difficult to avoid taking the oath.
