How to prevent flatfoot

summary

When I was very young, my walking posture was a little strange, so my parents took me to the hospital for examination. As a result, the doctor said that I had flat feet. It was for this reason that my walking was affected. Let's talk about how to prevent flat feet.

How to prevent flatfoot

First: prevention of flat foot weight. Those with family history of flatfoot began to prevent from childhood, not wearing flat shoes, wearing heel shoes or adding pads in the middle of shoes. Don't walk too long or bear too much weight. Foot structure development is not good, such as the first metatarsal is too short, scaphoid tubercle is too long, accessory scaphoid, congenital hallux valgus and so on, also easy to cause flatfoot, also need to take the above measures to prevent.

Second: in daily life, it is the most important preventive measure to pay attention to strengthening foot muscle exercise everywhere; in addition, we should also actively participate in physical exercise, especially high leg lifting, jumping and climbing activities, so as to fully exercise the muscles and ligaments of the arch of the foot. It is important to wear proper shoes to prevent flat feet. Avoid standing, walking too long and carrying too much weight.

Third: it is necessary to wear flat shoes. The heel and middle part of the sole should be slightly narrow to make the heel more fixed and prevent the heel from swinging when walking. The inner part of the sole (that is, the arch part) is 5-10 mm thicker than the outer part of the sole, which makes the foot turn inward slightly to prevent the sinking and inclination of the talus bone, and moves the load line from the inner edge of the foot to the outer edge of the foot. Similar insoles also have a better effect in shoes.

matters needing attention

The prevention of flatfoot must start from childhood. The shoes for children must fit their feet, because they are in the period of development, and the whole foot is still growing. At this time, we must give a good growth environment for the face, so as to effectively prevent the appearance of flatfoot.
