Article Title:Influences of acquired flatfoot on daily life and ballet training and considerations for response

Abstract:
As the only part of human body being in contact with the ground, foot collaborates with spine and plays a crucial role in supporting the weight. Additionally, it is responsible for maintaining balance during standing, walking, and various intricate movements. Any abnormalities in the structure and function of the foot's arch can significantly impact overall bodily equilibrium and physical well-being. Furthermore, it is important to note that ballet training places heightened demands on both strength and stability within the foot's arch. Consequently, any deviations from its functional state can lead to more severe acute or chronic injuries during ballet training sessions or performances. Such impairments hinder dancers' skill development while also affecting their artistic pursuits. This article aims to explore how acquired flatfoot influences daily life as well as ballet training, proposing corresponding preventive measures alongside corrective strategies.
