Filter by: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.
There is no definite evidence for the conservative treatment of pes planus. We want to verify the combination efficacy of orthosis and toe walking exercise for the treatment of pes planus.
Evaluate clinical healing and radiographic maintenance of correction following an LCL procedure or medial cuneiform osteotomy (Cotton) at 6 months following the use of the TITAN 3-D™ Wedge. Subjects who receive one or more TITAN 3-D™ Wedges will obtain satisfactory levels of clinical healing and radiographic maintenance of correction at 6 months.
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 purposes of these studies are to investigate: Differences in abductor hallucis muscles'EMG activities during different postural tasks between individuals with normal foot alignment and functional flat foot. Differences in abductor hallucis muscles'H-reflex amplitudes between individuals with normal foot alignment and functional flat foot. Changes in abductor hallucis muscles'EMG activities during different postural tasks after a 3-week short foot exercises training regimen in individuals with functional flat foot. Changes in abductor hallucis muscles'H-reflex amplitudes after a 3-week short foot exercises training regimen in individuals with functional flat foot. hypotheses: Peak-to-peak amplitudes and ratios of abductor hallucis muscles and tibialis anterior muscles during different postural tasks were significantly lower in individual with functional flat foot when compared to those with normal foot alignments. H-reflex amplitudes of abductor hallucis muscles were significantly lower in individual with functional flat foot when compared to those with normal foot alignments. Changes of peak-to-peak amplitudes and ratios of abductor hallucis muscles and tibialis anterior muscles during different postural tasks were significantly different in individuals with functional flat foot after a 3-week short foot exercise training regimen. Changes of H-reflex amplitudes of abductor hallucis muscles were significantly different in individuals with functional flat foot after a 3-week short foot exercise training regimen
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.

The change of the immobilization system has led to the appearance of problems of tolerability in particular in the skin. The aim of the study is to assess whether by placing a polyurethane foam dress at the heel in the immediate postoperative period until removal of the Walker, the rate of skin lesion and pain is reduced.
The purpose of this study is to explore the long-term effects that orthotics imposes on the structure and function of the foot. The objectives of the study are to determine if the use of custom-made foot orthotics (CFO) cause: (a) changes to the structure of the plantar intrinsic muscles, (b) changes in the rate of muscle activity and timing in the plantar intrinsic muscles and (c) creates any changes in balance control during gait termination. The aim of the study is to enhance the appropriate dispensing of orthotics, and whether additional measures, such as rehabilitation exercises are necessary to increase their overall effectiveness in the clinical setting.
The purpose of this study is to compare computer aided design/computer aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) and semi-custom insole types on pain, quality of life and physical performance and also to decide whether they are necessary in treatment of painful flexible flatfoot.
