[Disorders of statics of the foot and chronic venous insufficiency]

The aim of this study was to confirm a fact known in the relevant literature that there is a correlation between static anomalies of the sole, and varicose veins, a consequence of the decreased quality of the conjunctive tissue. We cite genetic and dynamic factors by way of explanation. To confirm the fact that deformities of the sole of the foot are linked with chronic venous incompetence and influence the functional capacity of the muscular pump, the authors have analysed in young subjects the contractile capacity of the pump even when the index of reduction in the sole of the foot was quite low. The muscular pump in the calf is a compensatory system from the point of view of functional capacity. The authors noted that the velocimetric parameter of speed of flux in the femoral vein is a sensitive parameter and changes rapidly, rising with even minimal activity in the calf. The authors think that acquired deformities are one of the most frequent causes of the poor functioning of the muscular pump in the calf.
