Abstract: Deformations of the feet of children and feet pain syndromes of adults are very common, more likely among women. In children and youth we can observe: 1/ valgus or plano – valgus feet deformity, 2/ congenital or neurological deformations of feet, 3/ Köhler’s disease among girls wearing improper shoes. Among adults can appear: 1/ insufficiency and pain of frontal part of feet connected with limited toes flexion, 2/ valgus deformity of the big toes (hallux valgus), 3/ “insufficiency and pain syndrome of ankle joint” – till now not been described. The pain is due to the instability of this joint. In our study, we describe this special type of foot insufficiency – “instability of ankle joint” and pain syndrome as a result of “permanent distortion of ankle joint” – left leg by drivers and right leg by passengers in countries with “right traffic rules”.
