What is the expected duration of Fallen Arch?
By: Editorial Team, Harvard
Although infants usually are born with flexible flatfeet, most develop normal arches sometime between ages 7 and 10. In the 15% to 20% of children whose flatfeet last into adulthood, the condition often is inherited and lifelong. However, it may not cause symptoms.
A rigid flatfoot is a long-term condition, unless it is corrected with surgery or other therapy.
