Gabriel Moisan is a researcher in podiatric medicine at the Universit\u00e9 du Qu\u00e9bec \u00e0 Trois-Rivi\u00e8res and a member of the QPRN. He is the author of an article in “The conversation” which deals with the persistent idea that flat feet represent a risk of developing musculoskeletal pain and disorders, even though the scientific basis for this idea seems fragile. Gabriel Moisan’s more detailed research has shown that this cause-and-effect link is not scientifically proven. This scientific finding is important in order to limit the effects of the persistent myth of flat-foot problems, which have the effect of tormenting people with flat feet and leading to specific treatment that is not necessary. Gabriel Moisan insists that it is important to know how to distinguish between an anatomical peculiarity and a proven pathology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
