the claim

Having flat feet impairs standing and walking balance in otherwise healthy adults.

the verdict
INSUFFICIENT LEANING
Recorded sources
2 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 having flat feet impairs standing and walking balance in otherwise healthy adults?

Unclear. Only two items bear on the claim, and both support it only in part: a flatfoot orthoses meta-analysis notes flatfoot can result in poor balance, and a clinic reference says flat feet can cause problems with walking. Neither measures standing or walking balance in otherwise healthy adults, so the claim is not settled.
