Cavus foot<\/em>\u00a0is a condition where the foot presents with an extremely high arch, this causes an excessive amount of weight to be placed on the ball and heel of the foot. The high arch can present on just one foot or both feet.<\/p>\n

It can be an uncomfortable and challenging problem for the patient leading to instability and pain when walking or even standing.<\/p>\n

Often when standing the middle of the foot can seem raised higher off the ground, with the heel and toes drawn downwards and pointing in towards the midline of the body.<\/p>\n

This can cause the foot to almost tip to the outer side, producing the appearance of a higher arch.<\/p>\n

Cavus foot often has a genetic or neurological cause. Some people are born with the condition, whilst others will develop the high arch over time.<\/p>\n

There are a number of medical conditions (including Spina Bifida, Cerebral Palsy, Muscular Dystrophy) that can cause cavus foot but where no underlying issue can be found, it is often attributed to weakness or lack of co-ordination of muscles in the legs and feet.<\/p>\n
