įlatfoot deformity is related to a lack of foot arch support and insufficient flexibility of the plantar ligaments and tendons, and the collapse in the medial arch of the foot. Many cases are isolated to the period while the skeletal structure is still developing: around 46% of children aged 2 to 6 years but only 14% of those 8 to 13 years suffer from the flexible flatfoot. e., the arch height of the foot does not change between the weight-bearing and non-weight-bearing states. Approximately 1% of the population suffers from rigid flatfoot, i. Nevertheless, females are more likely to suffer from risks of lower extremity injuries in running and lack of flexible foot/shank coupling coordination compared to males. Previous study has estimated the prevalence of mild and severe cases of the flatfoot to be 16.2% among males and 11.7% among females which was close to each other in gender. Pes planus (flatfoot) is a very common symptom frequently encountered among many diseases associated with the foot. The foot is an integral component of the human skeletal system and plays an important role in walking.
