Metatarsophalangeal and interphalangeal joint angle measurements on weight-bearing CT images
The aim of this study was to present and evaluate methods of measuring toe joint angels using joint-surface based and inertial axes approaches.
Development of a foot and ankle strengthening program for the treatment of plantar heel pain: a Delphi consensus study
People with plantar heel pain (PHP) have reduced foot and ankle muscle function, strength and size, which is frequently treated by muscle strengthening exercises. However, there has been little investigation of what exercises are used and there is no sound evidence base to guide practice. This study aimed to develop a consensus-driven progressive muscle strengthening program for PHP.
Tips for performing MIS beaming for Charcot foot reconstruction
New MIS techniques have recently emerged in Charcot foot reconstruction that combines percutaneous deformity correction and fusion with intramedullary beaming to restore coronal and sagittal alignment with significantly reduced soft tissue dissection.
Treatment for Claw Toe Pain
Claw toe is a foot deformity that causes painful toe-curling. If you have claw toe, your toes will point upward at the joint closest to the foot but bend sharply downward at the middle and third joint
Effects of supportive and minimalist footwear on standing balance and walking stability in older women
Footwear has been shown to influence balance and is an important consideration in relation to the prevention of falls. However, it remains unclear as to what type of footwear is most beneficial for balance in older people: sturdy, supportive footwear, or minimalist footwear to maximise plantar sensory input. The objectives of this study were therefore to compare standing balance and walking stability in older women wearing these two footwear styles, and to investigate participants’ perceptions in relation to comfort, ease of use and fit.
