He explained that flat feet are genetically determined.

He also stressed that without treatment this condition will result in health problems.

The doctor said that foot drop negatively affects the entire musculoskeletal system.

According to Kardanov, flat feet change the axes of the lower limbs.

This leads to incorrect loading of the joints and disrupts the balanced functioning of the muscles.

Severe flat feet can destroy joints.

Over time, flat feet can cause chronic pain in the back, pelvis, and legs.

Kardanov advised moving more, avoiding wearing non-physiological shoes for a long time, and using orthopedic insoles.
