Pes planus, or flat feet, occurs when the foot’s arch collapses or nearly touches the ground. This can lead to biomechanical issues and increase the risk of pain and injury. During a physical exam, doctors look for signs such as overpronation, tenderness in specific areas, and reduced flexibility. They also assess muscle strength and observe the patient’s walking pattern. Comparing both feet for asymmetry is important during the examination.
