It is a condition that can appear in childhood or in the elderly. If you have flat feet, you also have probably looked at he bottom of your foot and realize it isn’t exactly flat after all! So what are flat feet and what are the causes of flat feet? Here are some answers to those questions and more.
Women and Knee Problems
Women are at a higher risk of developing knee problems than men. Women are at an increased risk for developing anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears. Though the reason for it isn’t clear, the injuries seem to occur more often during times when a woman’s estrogen levels are high (like at ovulation). A woman’s weight distribution may also contribute to an increased risk of knee injuries.
Bees and Knees
A few generations ago, the phrase “the bee’s knees” was common. It meant the height of excellence. If you ever had a knee injury, knee strain, or knee pain you know you do not feel like you are at the height of excellence. Since most tasks and activities involving some walking, you probably felt as high as a bee’s knee, which is pretty low.
