Flat feet lead to knee pain.

the verdict
INSUFFICIENT LEANING
Recorded sources
8 sources for · 0 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that flat feet lead to knee pain?

Unclear. Several cross-sectional studies report an association between flat feet and knee pain, but only in specific groups such as older adults and knee-osteoarthritis patients, and none establishes that flat feet cause knee pain.
