Question

Suggest corrective measures for flat foot deformities.

Answer 1

• Arch Strengthening Exercises: Perform short foot exercises, towel curls with toes, and heel raises to strengthen the muscles supporting the arch.
• Orthotics and Arch Supports: Utilize custom orthotics or supportive shoes to provide artificial support for the fallen arch, reducing strain.
• Calf Stretches: Stretch the Achilles tendon and calf muscles to reduce pressure on the midfoot.
• Foot Mobilization: Use a massage ball or roller to stretch the plantar fascia and improve flexibility.
