Foot adducted

Foot adductus is a medical term used to describe the anatomical position of the heel bone where it moves inward toward the plantar surface of the foot, resulting in improper load distribution.

This usually occurs as a result of injury, surgery, or other medical conditions that can impair the function of the foot. Additionally, malalignment of the heel bone can lead to an increased risk of pain, fatigue, and other health problems in people who participate in sports or physical activities.

One of the main symptoms of adducted foot is a sensation of friction or pressure inside the heel when walking or doing exercise. If this sensation becomes chronic, it can be uncomfortable and even cause pain, which can be especially intense in the heel or foot area.

Correction of heel malalignment may vary depending on the severity and cause of the problem; however, correction usually involves the use of orthotics, proper training of the leg muscles, and rehabilitation.
