"Plane feet"

 

        Plane feet (also pes planus or conquered arches) it is a form of referring in informal form to a medical condition characterized by the collapse of the arc of foot, by means of the one which everything (or almost everything) the surface of the plant of the foot takes contact with the floor.

       It's is considered that in 20% to the human population's 30% the arch is developed never in a foot or in both feet. It is of making notice that to have plane feet doesn't imply a decrease in the displacement speed, neither neither it affects the reflection to plant.

        Plane feet in children It is normal and common that the children haves plane feet", especially because of baby's fat that masks the arch that is developing and also because the arch has not had time to be developed completely. The arch in the humans is developed during the childhood and first childhood like part of the normal processes of growth of muscles, tendons, ligaments  y bones.

       The ejercitación of the foot medianet specific exercises and to walk barefoot in irregular land, it can facilitate the formation of arches during the childhood, with a developed arch that one manifests in general among the four six years of age. Children with arches plane many times they develop normal arches during their growth, adolescence and early adulthood. Because it is very unlikely that the children can suspect or to identify that they have plane feet, it is a good idea that the parents or other responsible adults verify like they have the arches of the feet.

       Besides the visual inspection, the parents should pay attention if a boy begins to walk in form it misses, for example leaning on the external songs of the feet, like he behaves during lingering walks, and to ask to the boy if it is not that it experiences pain or fatigue during these activities.
