Vertical TalusĪnother type of flat feet is a birth defect or congenital disability called vertical talus.
This condition can cause your affected foot and the inner side of the ankle to feel pain as long as the arch isn’t fully supported. The loss of arch is caused mainly by posterior tibial tendon dysfunction where the tendon in the ankle that supports the arch is injured or torn. Adult-Acquired Flat FootĪn adult-acquired flat foot or fallen arch happens when the arch of an adult unexpectedly collapses, commonly due to injuries. This type typically develops in the teen years and unlike flexible flat feet, may cause foot pain and discomfort. If there is no visible arch regardless of whether you are sitting or standing, then you have rigid flat feet. This is the most common type for children or toddlers and is usually painless. However, if your arch disappears when standing, then this means that you have flexible flat feet. Flexible Flat FootĪ foot is considered to have a normal arch if there is an upward curve in the middle. 7 Flat feet concerns?
