Plantar aponeurosis contracture and anterior tibial muscle weakness. The skin of the head of plantar metatarsal bone may have callosum formation and even necrosis. Most children with high arch foot can not walk for a long time, and their feet are easy to fatigue and feel pain.

The foot is inelastic and ankle dorsiflexion is limited. The high arch shape reduced the area of the foot contacting the ground, thickened the soft tissue of the foot weight-bearing area, formed the corpus callosum and pain. But it's deformed

Our feet must bear the impact of thousands of walking, running and jumping every day. If not well protected, it may damage the feet and affect our daily life.

The medial arch is the first step in the evolution of bipedal walking. It provides the flexor digitorum with sufficient mechanical structure to support the weight of the body while helping to absorb shock during standing.

The collapse of the medial longitudinal arch is called "flat foot"; if the longitudinal arch is too high, it is called "high arch foot". Since flatfoot is easier to distinguish visually, there have been a lot of related studies in the past
