These patients have arches that remain fixed in a collapsed position when both in non-weight bearing and weight bearing situations.[news-medical.net]
This causes the sinus tarsi to collapse and the natural arch in your foot to fall flat as shown in the video below. In fact, having flat feet is not so much a symptom, as it is the visible collapse of the sinus tarsi.[hyprocure.com]

Signs and Symptoms Diagnosis Treatment Flat feet don't cause disabilities or other problems as long as the foot is supple and the heel cord, or Achilles tendon, isn't tight. This is called flexible flat foot.[ucsfbenioffchildrens.org]
These inserts may help to reduce pain and disability in some people. In mild cases, a well-fitting pair of shoes with arch support may be all that is needed. Flat feet caused by nerve or muscle disease may need special braces.[uvahealth.com]
Treatment In most children, flexible flatfoot is physiological and asymptomatic. As a result, treatment is not required, especially since children eventually outgrow it by the age of 8 years.[news-medical.net]
However, three military studies on asymptomatic adults (see section below), suggest that persons with asymptomatic flat feet are at least as tolerant of foot stress as the population with various grades of arch.[en.wikipedia.org]
Good to Know About This Most flexible feet are asymptomatic and considered a normal human variant, although problems can develop if intrinsic foot muscles are especially weak.[feetforlife.com]
Pes planus may occur in as many as 20% of the adult population, although the majority of patients are asymptomatic and require no treatment. There is some evidence to suggest that flat feet protect against stress fractures.[radiopaedia.org]
It is usually asymptomatic, but if symptomatic and the foot is rigid it may be secondary to tarsal coalition, accessory navicular bone, vertical talus, tight heel cord or cerebral palsy.[wsiat.on.ca]

Inadequate muscles After illness or enforced recumbence the muscles may temporarily be weak and the arch consequently falls when walking is resumed. A more lasting form of muscle weakness accompanies a generally poor posture.[physio-pedia.com]
