problem of flat foot genetically. Basically it occurs when the arches of the foot not
developing in the childhood for some reason. And for that it collapsed the arch of the
foot completely.
TARSAL COALITION: This also can be caused by a condition which is commonly
known as tarsal coalition. Basically it happens in the children. This is a fusion of two of
the tarsal bones in the feet. Generally this brings about a condition which is known as
„rigid flatfoot‟. If it is kept untreated then it can cause stiffness of the affected foot. It also
belongs to the genetic condition and affects about 1-2% of the affected people.
RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS: This condition force to destroy the tendons in the foot
which cause the flatfoot and also resulting in OSTEOARTHRITIS of the TARSAL.
PREGNANCY: There is an increased amount of elastic in the body at the time
pregnancy and this can increase the tissue elasticity. This can increase the length of the
tendon that holds the arch in place, which ultimately leading to the flatfoot.
WEAR AND TEAR: This condition also can occur due to the injury or the aging
problem which affect the tendon responsible for shaping the arch. Basically this is also
known as “adult acquired flatfoot”.
Basically it is a painless condition with the exceptions of the “rigid flatfoot” and it can also
