Filter by:Compare Customized arch support orthoses (CASO) and orthotic heel lift (HL) on the effect of ATL in recreational runners with pronated feet.
Pronation is a very common foot deformity in population. Plantar insoles are one way to treat it, and even correct it, but there are several kind of treatments. In this study we try to prove if prefabricated foot insoles are a solution to correct pronation in adults. It has been tested by Foot Posture Index, that it is an objetive clinical test to measure the posture of feet. Foot is clasified in supinated , pronated and neutral.
This study will have implications for any healthcare professionals who routinely manage ingrown toenails. Although different conservative and surgical treatment have been suggested, the recurrent rate is still high ranging from 20% to 30%. The objective of this study was to investigate the association of ingrown toenail (IGTN) with flat foot, hallux abducto valgus (HAV) and hallux limitus (HL), and to provide directions for addressing biomechanical risk factors in the prevention of recurrent ingrown toenails. This was the first study to investigate the association of IGTN with flat foot, and the first study in Chinese community to investigate the association of IGTN with HAV or HL. Participants with ingrown toenails (IGTN) were recruited to this study and compared with control participants with no history of ingrown toenails. The inclusion criteria for the IGTN group were: (1) history of ingrown toenails on hallux within 1 year and (2) dorso-plantar standing view of foot x-ray taken or to be taken. The exclusion criteria for the IGTN group were: (1) paediatrics (Age<18), (2) pincer nails / fungal nails, (3) prior existence of osteoarticular surgery in the foot, (4) severe trauma that changes foot morphology, (5) uncontrolled systemic disease, (6) pre-existing neurological diseases and (7) lower limb paralysis or paresis. The inclusion criterion for the control group was dorso-plantar standing view of foot x-ray taken or to be taken. The exclusion criteria for the control group were: (1) all the exclusion criteria of IGTN group, (2) history of IGTN in his or her lifetime and (3) flatfoot / first metatarsophalangeal joint pathology as the chief complaint. The symptomatic foot (or the more symptomatic foot in the case of bilateral involvement) in the IGTN group was examined. The left or right foot of the control group was randomly selected such that the ratio of the left or the right foot in the IGTN and control group was the same. Their foot posture index-6 components, Staheli's index, radiological hallux valgus angle and active maximum dorsiflexion of the first metatarsophalangeal joint on weight-bearing were measured and compared. For dependent variables with significant correlation, a one-way multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) was carried out to determine if there was a significant difference on the combined dependent variables. For dependent variables without significant correlation, separate independent sample t-tests / welch t-tests were performed.
Determine the effects of non-custom made foot orthoses on the kinematics, muscle activity and joint contact force after fatigue and compare the rate of fatigue in flexible flat foot with and without foot orthoses
Increased Femoral Anteversion is a transverse plan problem that affects lower body alignment, walking and standing characteristics and also pes planovalgus mostly accompanies with IFA. It is shown that children with IFA and PPV have back and leg pain, fatigue, muscle cramps and they are under the risk for chronic disorders such as osteoarthritis, scoliosis and muscle injuries. Insoles, which reduce pronation of foot (flat foot), provide apparently a static correction by supporting proper alignment in children with IFA and PPV. However, the dynamic effects of insoles to lower extremity biomechanics while walking is not known. The aims of this study are to determine the effects of the insoles on walking biomechanics in children with IFA and PPV by comparing with their healthy peers.
The aim of the study is, to evaluate and classificate the medial longitudinal arch height in adult individuals. Aged between 18-40 years,350 adults who are voluntarily participate is going to be evaluate with Feiss Line(FL), Navicular Drop(ND) and Longitudinal Arch Angle(LAA) in subtalar neutral and resting position. Maximum, minimum values are going to be calculated. The 95% and 68% prediction intervals will be used as cut off limits.
Medial longitudinal arch (MLA) is a curve of the foot located at the medial side of the body and protection of the height of the MLA is an important factor for limb health. This study was planned with the aim of investigating the response of the MLA height to the repetitive muscle activity and determine the gender-related differences.
Pediatric flexible flatfoot is sometimes asymptomatic but it can also cause physical impairment, pain, and difficulty walking. We evaluate the radiographic effectiveness of intervention of subtalar arthroereisis with endorthesis for pediatric flexible flatfoot with final follow-up at skeletal maturity.
The study was planned to assess effects on pes planus and femoral anteversion angle of exercise training mixed with play on pre-school children.
The post-operative treatment of pediatric patients operated for the correction of flat foot, sees today the use of preformed leg-foot splint (Walker) as an alternative to the application of plaster casts. The change of the immobilization system has led to the appearance of problems of tolerability in particular in the skin. The problems persist also after placing a polyurethane foam dress at the heel in the immediate postoperative period. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a cotton sock applied inside the leg-foot splint in children operated vs the Elastic Compression Wraps in reducing the incidence of cutaneous lesions.
