DEF

A condition in which the longitudinal arch of the foot is reduced so that, on standing, its medial border is close to, or in contact with, the ground. It is usually associated with some degree of twisting outwards of the foot on its longitudinal axis (eversion or valgus deformity). In many cases it has a congenital basis, but it may be caused by selective muscle weakness or paralysis.

OBS

pes planus: term recommended by the Medical Signs and Symptoms Committee.
