Over-Pronation (Flat Feet)

What Are Flat Feet or Over-Pronation?

Flat feet are also commonly referred to as fallen arches and occur when the feet roll in or over-pronate during standing or walking.

With a healthy foot, the arch prevents the sole from lying flat on the ground while standing. Flat feet is a postural deformity in which the arches of the foot collapse, with the entire sole of the foot coming into complete or near-complete contact with the ground.

What Are Collapsed Foot Arches?

When a person’s arch collapses upon weight bearing, this condition is also referred to as Collapsed Foot Arches. The common biomechanical condition that occurs during standing or walking.

Posterior tibial tendon dysfunction (PTTD) is a condition caused by changes in the tendon, impairing its ability to support the arch. This results in flattening of the foot. PTTD is often called adult acquired flatfoot because it is the most common type of flatfoot developed during adulthood.
