The Cube : le fait d’avoir les pieds plats entraîne-t-il des problèmes de santé ?
does having flat feet make you more
susceptible to health problems for years
the general population has believed that
people with flat feet are more likely to
develop future pain and musculoskeletal
issues these include problems with
muscles tendons and ligaments however a
new editorial study claims to challenge
that myth let’s see what it
[Music]
says the idea that having flat feet
inevitably leads to pain or other
musculoskeletal problems goes back
centuries it was revived during the
second half of the 1900s when us
podiatrists popularized the notion of
having normal feet this included the
theory that not having a well-defined
arch or a straight heel would make your
feet abnormal and more prone to injury
however researchers at the University of
Quebec in Tu Rivier in Canada claim that
the theory is unfounded as expected we
found no correlations and almost no link
between uh having flat feet and the
chance of getting a muscular scal
disorder if we look at the literature
having flat feet makes you at higher
risk of I think three or four
pathologies that’s it but if we take
more straight straighter feed uh you
will be more at risk of developing let’s
say three or four other pathologies and
having high arch feet will be or
different also the myth that flat feet
make you more likely to develop injuries
has often resulted in people having
unnecessary medical interventions and
significant concerns among patients
about the appearance of their feet in
fact asymptomatic flat feet generally
don’t need any treatment according to
the study so how can we set the record
straight so stop teaching to Physio
podiatrists um uh General Practitioners
for example stop teaching them that
having flat feet is a problem then we
need to translate or disseminate this
information to the clinical world
because once your your studies are over
it’s harder to uh disseminate
informations uh so clinician uh need to
stop spreading this uh misconceptions to
their patients and what advice can we
give to people with flat feet who might
be concerned having flat feet is normal
it’s an anatomical V anatomical variant
you just need to be comfortable with it
stop uh being scared of developing
pathologies and you’re you’re not more
at risk of developing uh pathologies
that someone with I hate to say normal
as say rectus or staer feet for more
investigations and fact checks take a
