Your arch structure influences how you walk, run, and stand. During the walking cycle the foot is responsible for both shock absorption and providing a rigid lever to push off from. A higher or lower arch influences how well your foot can perform either of these tasks.

Tarsal coalition is a relatively rare condition characterized by the abnormal fusion of two or more bones in the midfoot or hindfoot. This fusion restricts normal movement in the foot and can lead to pain, stiffness, and decreased mobility. Typically, these bones are separate during fetal development but fail to properly separate and remain fused together as the foot grows.

Adult acquired flat foot, also known as posterior tibial tendon dysfunction (PTTD), is a common condition characterized by the progressive weakening or degeneration of the posterior tibial tendon, which supports the arch of the foot. As the tendon weakens the strands of collagen tear contributing to an overall lengthening much like a frayed rope. This condition can lead to the collapse of the arch and the development of flat feet, causing pain, instability, and difficulty wit
