In medicine, flatfoot, also called a flat foot, fallen arch, and pes planus, is a type of foot deformity "in which one or more of the arches of the foot have flattened out."[1]
Clinical practice guidelines have address this in children[2] and adults[3].
Rupture or dysfunction of the posterior tibial tendon may cause adult flatfoot.[4]
