Flat Feet

Foot & Gait Problems

Flat feet refer to a condition where the foot arch (composed of the bones and soft tissues in the sole of the foot) does not have the normal raised or arched appearance when bearing weight, but instead appears relatively flat. This can be due to abnormal foot structure or issues with the foot muscles and ligaments.
