1) Can anyone tell me what orthotics can correct Forefoot varus? Is it thomas heel or some kind of wedge besides postings?
2) Also, am I right when i am thinking that forefoot varus will cause hindfoot valgus ( hindfoot pronated) which will lead to genu valgum and coxa varus?
3) When someone just says, foot is in varus position, what does it mean exactly- forefoot varus or hindfoot varus?
But... I wish there were exercises I could do to improve this difficult, painful situation, as I have just qualified as a nurse, and will be on my feet for hours.
I have always worn very sensible, flat shoes. Never heels, never tight shoes, never pointed toes.
I have a lot of pain with this, and sprain my ankles often.
My physiotherapist (who I can't afford any more), said he had never seen such loose feet.
I have been diagnosed with extremely loose ligaments in my feet. My whole feet splay out when I put them down. I am a woman with very long, large, loose feet (I take a man's UK 10). The outside of my feet are the loosest, my little toes rotate 180 degrees when I put my foot down.
My knees are knocked and my ankles are pronate inwards. Conversely, my achilles tendons are tight and as hard as concrete. I get leg cramps in my calves.
I believe I have this condition, most podiatrists believe that forefoot varus is extremely rare. They believe that most people who are diagnosed as forefoot varus have the position as a result of rear foot pronation torquing the forefoot into that position. I've had one pod try to move my forefoot back into position, but it does appear to be fixed, as opposed to being cause by soft tissue structures. Sure wish there wasn't so much confusion regarding this.
Thanks much for the video, it was of great help!
I still have few doubts.
