EC Orthopaedics

Speaking about the deformities of the feet, the rapid increase in the number of people diagnosed with flat feet involuntarily wonders what is the reason. For all the previous millennia and until the 1950s, they talked about 6 - 19%, but today more than 90% of the population of developed countries suffer from flat feet. Is this the merit of modern medicine? If earlier biomechanics prosthetists were engaged in orthopedic insoles only at factories of prosthetic products, today there are offices for the manufacture of insoles in every quarter of the city. These are specialists who do not know the anatomy of building the arches of the feet, the laws of geometry, that two surfaces are in contact with each other at three points, unable to understand the functionality of their own. Compare both schemes, and you will see not only the difference in the designation of the arches, their position, but also the fact that the calcaneus is simultaneously part of the internal and external arches.
