What Is a Board Foot?

Flat foot (flat foot) refers to the absence of a normal arch, or arch collapse. Flat feet have both congenital and late injuries. Late injury is mainly due to foot pain caused by abnormal foot bone morphology, muscle atrophy, ligament contracture, or chronic strain caused by collapse of the longitudinal arch of the foot or loss of elasticity. If it is not congenital and has not suffered trauma, flat feet may recover. Pay attention to exercise, at the same time pay special attention to reduce arch pressure, pay special attention to shoes, most flat feet are caused by improper shoes.

Flat feet, also known as flat feet ^[1], that is, the feet do not have a sole, although some have a sole, but the sole collapses when standing. In the early hours, because the deformity is not serious, the symptoms are not prominent, and it is not easy to be found by the parents. The patient himself does not feel any special discomfort. He is often checked by a doctor when he joins the army, undergoes medical examinations, or has foot pain. It's a little late for treatment.

Human feet have two vertical and horizontal bows, collectively called the arch of the foot. The arch of the foot is made up of the bones, ligaments, and muscles. The structure of the foot bones is very complex. There are calcaneus, moment bone, scaphoid bone, wedge bone, dice bone, and sacrum of different sizes, lengths, and shapes. Most of them are upper and lower and narrow together, and they are shaped like arch bridges. The arch of the foot is consolidated and maintained by ligaments and muscles. This clever structure allows it to bear the weight of the whole body at the lowest level of the human body, and acts like a spring to cushion shocks and forcefully kick off the ground. Once the arch is damaged, its function will be greatly reduced, which will result in short walking, fast running and high jumping. The damage to the arch of the foot changes the body's negative gravity line. In severe cases, ankle, knee, hip and waist pain can also occur. Therefore, there are some professional restrictions on joining the army, regulating and participating in work.

Part of the flat foot is congenital, and part of it is children and adolescents who have not yet fully developed their bodies. Due to insufficient nutritional rest, standing for too long, bearing too much weight and wearing high heels prematurely, chronic strains of the foot ligaments and muscles lose their elasticity. And toughness, which caused the arch to collapse. Premature babies to practice standing and walking can also be caused. Those who have no exercise, are physically obese, and suddenly gain weight can often occur.

It is not difficult to observe and inspect the flat foot, and it can be identified by a simple method. First look at the depression of the foot, if there is no depression in the foot, it can indicate the signs of flat feet. Some flat feet have a certain depression in their feet and feet, which allows bare feet to stand on the board or take turns to stand on the bench with one foot. When viewed from the inside of the foot, the normal foot does not touch the stool surface, and it can be discerned if the foot is close to the stool There are signs of flat feet. In addition, you can also observe the heel at the same time. The normal heel forms a straight line with the lower leg. If the heel is turned out, it is more clear that there is a flat foot sign.

Tablet foot expensive is found early and prevention is the most important. Children and adolescents who have not fully developed should avoid standing for too long and carrying too much physical work, especially for young children, it should be absolutely forbidden to stand for too long. Don't be rushed to children under the age of one, and force them to practice standing and walking. Children and adolescents who are not fully developed are advised not to wear high heels. If parents have flat feet, they should pay attention to observe whether their children also have flat feet, so that early measures can be taken for treatment.

Flat feet cannot be treated with drugs, and sports therapy has a good effect on prevention and treatment. The method is as follows: Practice barefoot toe-toe grip on sand bunkers, beaches or sponge pads. Practice toe-grass jumping barefoot on sand bunkers, beaches, or sponge pads. You can use a thick layer of sponge on the inner pad of your shoes to practice walking with your toes on the outside. Use more than 10 small wooden sticks with a diameter of about 3-4 cm, arranged in order on the flat ground, and the distance between the wooden sticks is about 30-50 cm. Practice walking on the stick. In the sitting position, you can practice foot extension and foot stretching. When you stretch your feet, relax your toes, and when you stretch your feet, flex your toes hard.

Usually, it is best to wear soft-soled shoes, which is equivalent to adding a hard sponge pad to the foot to maintain the arch of the foot, and pay attention to the outside of the sole. As long as you persist, exercise with patience, you will get good results.
