What Causes Plantar Fasciitis to Flare Up?
Plantar fasciitis is one of the most common causes of heel and foot pain. It occurs when the plantar fascia, a band of tissue that runs along the bottom of the foot, becomes inflamed. Certain factors can cause plantar fasciitis to flare up, including lots of physical activity, wearing shoes without proper support, or rapid weight gain.
Diagnostic evaluation of mechanical ankle instability by comparing injured and uninjured contralateral ankles using arthrometry
Individuals with mechanical ankle instability (MAI) have obvious lateral ligament laxity and excessive ankle joint motion beyond the physiologic range.
What Is Metatarsalgia?
Metatarsalgia refers to pain and tenderness in the ball of the foot. This pain can be caused by anything that puts excessive pressure on that part of your foot, such as too-tight shoes or intense exercise, as well as various health conditions.
Jones Fracture of the Foot: Symptoms, Treatment, and Recovery
Jones fractures are caused by sudden force on the outside of the foot when twisted, usually with the heel off the ground. This can occur from overuse, playing sports, dancing, or a slip-and-fall accident.
Platelet-rich plasma, a biomaterial, for the treatment of anterior talofibular ligament in lateral ankle sprain
Because of the rising prevalence of anterior talofibular ligament (ATFL) damage, there is a considerable interest in developing innovative techniques to improve the biological healing response of ATFL. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) includes several growth factors linked to a favorable healing response, however none of the studies involved both quality evaluation and clinical results to evaluate this treatment.
