Association between flat foot and knee pain
Keywords:
Flat foot, Biomechanics, Knee painAbstract
Flat foot is a very common condition in childhood and older adult. Causes of flatfoot disease include congenital flatfoot and acquired flatfoot. It leads to the biomechanical changing of the ankle, knee, hip joint and back. The effects of flatfoot can cause plantar fasciilitis, heel pain, and ankle tendinitis. It also leads to knee and back pain in the future because it increases load stress on lower extremities including knee joints. Therefore, flatfoot does not only affect on the foot itself, but also other joints. So flatfoot evaluations are important and lead to specifictreatment and exercise for flatfoot. These include correct malalignment in lower extremities and prevent health problems in the future.
