Abstract
Posterior tibial tendinopathy altered load transfer of the medial column and unbalanced the load between the proximal and distal side of the medial longitudinal arch. Posterior tibial tendinopathy also stretched the midfoot plantar ligaments that jeopardized midfoot stability, and attenuated the transverse arch. All these factors potentially contributed to the progress of pes planus and other foot deformities.
