Often from patients whose problems begin with the foot, you can hear, “Doctor, I had a stone (meaning” stone “at the bottom first toe). I’m afraid that I will be like my mother (or grandmother), “foot and toes which cause an objective sense of fear. If the patient considerable deformation of the foot and toes, often in an injured voice, they say: “This is my inheritance …” Virtually no one, from applying to this situation, does not know that genetics plays the smallest role in the formation of foot deformations. Davavyte understand, what is the is the main reason? Must paralytic, rachitic, posttraumatic) deserve special attention. On the causes of static flatfoot mentioned in the article “Flatfoot may cause headache,” where we celebrated his primary reason – it’s an overload stop as a result of various factors. What is going on with the foot as a result of congestion? To understand this, look at the anatomy and physiology of the foot. The foot contains 26 bones.
All 26 bones are connected between a strong ligaments. In the correct ratio between the foot bones are held by these ligaments and muscles, some of which originates from the knee joint, and part is located at the very foot. When we talk about formation of static flatfoot, in the first place, there is the inability of the muscle as a result of an overload to keep the foot bones in the correct ratio. Overload in most cases, cause long-term work standing up, hard physical labor, heavy weight, physiological, in other words, the age aging muscles, etc. Ie muscles that must support some form of foot, run down and no longer in full is systematic, the foot bones are changing the relationship between them, which leads to a change in the longitudinal arch of the foot and poperchenogo, as if they “settle down” and develop clinical picture, which we denote as flatfoot.
