Static foot disorders: a major risk factor for chronic venous disease?

Abstract

Static disorders of the foot can be considered as an important risk factor that negatively affects CVD. In daily practice, it is often underestimated. This emphasizes the crucial importance of the detection of SFD during the clinical exam of all CVD patients. Correction of static disorders of the feet will improve symptoms due to the SFD, as well as those related to venous stasis. These results can easily be explained by improvement of foot pump efficacy during walking.
