sinks.<br \/>\nIn severe cases, the entire sole of the foot lies flat on the ground.<br \/>\nThis condition can often lead to considerable pain.<br \/>\nIn the early stages, when the foot is still flexible and can be returned to its normal position, the symptoms are mainly caused by overloading the tendons and ligaments.<br \/>\nIn the advanced stage, when the misalignment is already rigid, the

data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\">The development of flat feet can have various causes, which can be either congenital or acquired.<br \/>\nCongenital forms of flat feet are often genetic and occur in childhood.<br \/>\nIn the majority of those affected, however, flat feet develop later in life.  <\/p>\n<p>The most common acquired causes include <strong>muscular weaknesses<\/strong>, particularly in the foot muscles and calf muscles, as well as <strong>connective tissue weakness<\/strong>. <strong>Excess weight <\/strong>exerts additional pressure on the arches of the foot and thus encourages the foot to drop.<br \/>\n <strong>Incorrect loading<\/strong>, such as that caused by standing for long periods or walking on uneven surfaces, can also promote the development of flat feet. <\/p>\n<p>Another risk factor is wearing <strong>unsuitable footwear<\/strong>.<br \/>\nShoes with inadequate support or high heels put strain on the arch of the foot and promote the development of flat feet in the long term.<br \/>\nCertain professions that require <strong>standing for long periods<\/strong> and <strong>sporting activities with intensive foot strain<\/strong>, such as running or jumping, also increase the risk.  <\/p>\n<p><strong>In addition, injuries or illnesses<\/strong> such as ligament injuries, neurological disorders or rheumatic diseases can weaken the arch of the foot and cause flat feet.<br \/>\nWith increasing age, the elasticity of the connective tissue decreases, which further increases the likelihood of acquired flat feet. <\/p>\n<p>Knowledge of the causes and risk factors is crucial in order to take preventive measures and to recognize and treat the development of flat feet at an early stage.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section

deformity may initially go unnoticed.<br \/>\nHowever, typical signs are <strong>pain and feelings of fatigue<\/strong> in the foot area, especially after prolonged standing or walking.<br \/>\nThose affected often complain of an<strong> unpleasant pulling or stinging<\/strong> sensation in the sole of the foot or in the inner ankle area.   <\/p>\n<p>At an advanced stage, the symptoms can become more intense and widespread.<br \/>\nPain then not only occurs in the foot itself, but also radiates to the lower legs, knees or even the back.<br \/>\nThis is because the misalignment of the foot affects the entire body statics and leads to uneven strain on the joints and muscles.<br \/>\nIn many cases, there is swelling and tenderness in the area of the inner ankle as well as a visible lowering of the arch of the foot.   <\/p>\n<p>Another common symptom is <strong>incorrect loading of the forefoot<\/strong>, which can lead to calluses and corns.<br \/>\nIn severe cases, the prolonged incorrect loading causes <strong>osteoarthritis to develop in the foot or ankle joints<\/strong>, which further increases the pain and restricts mobility. <\/p>\n<p>In children, flexible flatfoot often manifests itself in a <strong>conspicuous gait<\/strong> with the tips of the feet pointing outwards.<br \/>\nThey rarely complain of pain, but often show <strong>reduced physical activity<\/strong>, as walking or running is perceived as uncomfortable.<br \/>\nIn adults, on the other hand, the symptoms are usually more pronounced and can significantly impair quality of life.
