OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to compare surgically treated clubfoot with typically developing (TD) children using plantar pressure, multi-segment-foot kinematic analysis, and multiple functional outcomes in comprehensive and long-term study. Methods: 26 patients with 45 clubfeet and 23 TD children with 45 normal feet were evaluated. Most clubfoot patients had a complete subtalar release and a few patients had a posterior medial-lateral release at the mean age of 5 years and 6 months...

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to compare pain, plantar foot sensation, postural control, fear of movement, and functional level between women patients with early-stage gonarthrosis and those with late-stage gonarthrosis. METHODS: A total of 62 women with gonarthrosis were included in the study. Patients were then divided into two groups: earlystage gonarthrosis group (31 women) and late-stage gonarthrosis group (31 women) according to Kellgren Lawrence criteria...

Ankle sprains are frequently encountered. They result most of the time in lesions of the lateral ligament complex. Nevertheless, in the context of an ankle sprains, more severe injuries including fracture of the lateral process of the talus, fracture of the base of the 5th metatarsal, tear of the medial ligament complex, lesion of the syndesmosis, sprain of the Chopart joint, and peroneal tendons luxation are potentially overlooked and, if treated inadequately, may be associated with poor functional outcome...

Cushioning for the central and plantar zone of the forefoot, integrated into the body of the sock, could reduce excess pressures in that zone. The objective of this study was to verify the capacity of a sock with a cushioning element to reduce forefoot plantar pressures relative to the same sock model without that element. Dynamic plantar pressures were measured in a sample of 38 participants (25 women and 13 men) using the FootScan plate system following the two-step protocol. Measurements were made in three situations selected at random - barefoot, wearing control socks, and wearing the experimental cushioned socks...

PURPOSE: Controversy exists regarding the acute effect of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) on early fracture healing. The purpose of this study was to analyze the rate of nonunion or delayed union in patients with fifth metatarsal (5th MT) fractures. We hypothesize that the use of NSAIDs would increase the rate of nonunion/delayed union in 5th MT fractures. METHODS: Using PearlDiver, a national insurance database was analyzed. ICD codes were used to identify patients diagnosed with 5th MT fracture from 2007-2018...

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the effects of visual restoration after cataract surgery on plantar pressure and biomechanics of foot in elder individuals. METHODS: Thirty-two patients [male/female 5/27, (70.1±5.2) years old] with age-related cataract were recruited between October 2016 and December 2019. The footscan system was employed to record the data of plantar pressure during level walking before and 1-month after the cataract surgery. Parameters of peak pressure (PP), impulse (I), pressure-time integral (PTI) and time to peak pressure (TPP) from the regions of the 1st toe (T1), 2nd to 5th toes (T2-5), 1st to 5th metatarsal heads (M1-M5), midfoot (MF), medial hindfoot (HM) and lateral hindfoot (HL) were analyzed respectively...

With the progress of medical treatment for rheumatoid arthritis (RA), several joint-preserving forefoot surgical procedures have been established and performed. In this situation, we have been choosing the combined surgery: modified scarf osteotomy for the great toe and metatarsal shortening offset osteotomy for the lesser toes in RA cases. A retrospective observational study of 53 RA patients (mean follow-up period: 4.6 years) who underwent the surgery was completed. RA foot ankle scores were assessed, using the Japanese Society for Surgery of the Foot (JSSF) standard rating system, and a self-administered foot evaluation questionnaire (SAFE-Q) was also checked to evaluate clinical outcomes...

BACKGROUND: People with chronic ankle instability are more inverted during initial contact and loading response which may increase the risk of subsequent ankle injuries. Vibration feedback gait retraining causes medial center of pressure shifts but its impact on ankle kinematics remains unknown. The purpose of this study was to understand kinematic ankle changes in people with chronic ankle instability following vibration feedback gait retraining. METHODS: Nineteen participants with chronic ankle instability walked with vibration feedback for 10 min on a treadmill and for one mile in the real-world...

BACKGROUND: Hallux valgus orthoses are available in a wide range of designs and materials, but the effects of their design on functional performance have not been fully investigated. RESEARCH QUESTION: This present study aims to comprehensively analyze the immediate effects of soft and semi-rigid hallux valgus orthoses on balance, plantar pressure, hallux valgus angle, and subjective sensations. METHODS: Sixteen female subjects have participated in the study, including 10 subjects with healthy feet and 6 with hallux valgus...

BACKGROUND: This study aimed to analyze the correlation between bone mineral density (BMD) and the type of 5th metatarsal fracture, as well as to demonstrate whether there is a difference in radiological findings (heel alignment angle [HAA], heel moment arm [HMA], and metatarsus angle) between fracture types. METHODS: A total of 87 patients were enrolled in the study and allocated into 3 groups: the Zone 1 group (N=36), the Zone 2 group (N=33), and the Zone 3 group (N=18)...

The 5th metatarsal fracture is a common foot fracture which could exclude a player from competition for several months and significantly affect his or her career. This manuscript presents the treatment and rehabilitation of professional soccer players who had acute fractures of the 5th metatarsal bone and a cannulated screw fixation. The main purpose of the analysis was to determine the minimum time necessary for a permanent return to the sport after a 5th metatarsal fracture among professional soccer players...

OBJECTIVES: To investigate the normative two-point discrimination (TPD) values of the lower extremities of healthy young Turkish individuals. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Fifty-five healthy, young adults were recruited in this prospective study. Ten lower extremity parts were tested with esthesiometer: proximal thigh, midlateral thigh, midmedial thigh, midposterior thigh, proximal lateral leg, distal lateral leg, medial leg, the tip of great toe, skin over 1-2 metatarsal interspace, skin over 5th metatars at both dominant and non-dominant sides...

Over the past decade, Finite Element (FE) modelling has been used as a method to understand the internal stresses within the diabetic foot. Foot deformities such as hammer toe have been associated with increased risk of foot ulcers in diabetic patients. Hence the aim of this study is to investigate the influence of hammer toe deformity on internal stresses during walking. A 3D finite element model of the human foot was constructed based on capturing Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) of a diabetic neuropathic volunteer exhibiting hammer toe...

PURPOSE: The survival rate of a Flight crash is quite low and this makes the Calicut incident unique. Management of flight crash victims is itself a herculean task and during COVID-19 pandemic it poses another challenge to the treating team since all the patients are under quarantine and the treatment protocols are not well defined. METHODS: On 7/8/2020 at around 7.41 pm, Air India Express aircraft from Dubai to Calicut, while landing on the runway lost its control and skidded off the runway and broke into three parts...

PURPOSE: Balance impairment is one of the strongest risk factors for falls. Proprioception, cutaneous sensitivity, and muscle strength are 3 important contributors to balance control in older adults. The relationship that dynamic and static balance control has to proprioception, cutaneous sensitivity, and muscle strength is still unclear. This study was performed to investigate the relationship these contributors have to dynamic and static balance control. METHODS: A total of 164 older adults (female=89, left dominant = 15, age: 73...

Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) has been postulated to affect gait patterns and postural stability due to its effect on center of body mass. 1) Determine the correlation between Cobb angle and COP in the anterior-posterior (AP) direction, COP in the medial-lateral (ML) direction, COP oscillation (COP-O) from midline walking, peak pressures, and pressure-time integrals (loading) at 10 anatomic foot segments; 2) Determine the differences in COP-AP, COP-ML, COP-O, and peak plantar pressures at 10 anatomic foot segments between the normal group and the AIS group...

BACKGROUND: All body systems involved in ensuring a healthy posture (musculoskeletal system, oculomotor, oto-vestibular and occluso-cranial-mandibular) are essential in maintaining postural balance. RESEARCH QUESTION: Does experimental malocclusion in subjects in static position determine variations in plantar pressure? METHODS: Overall, 31 subjects were included in the study. The plantar pressure was evaluated in five different points: lateral and medial heel, midfoot, 1st and 5th metatarsal area...

Fifth metatarsal shaft osteotomy has demonstrated efficacy for bunionette. We adapted screwless 1st metatarsal scarf osteotomy to the 5th ray. The technique consists in short osteotomy, translation and diaphyseal bone-suture. We report the first 25 operated feet, with mean AOFAS score 58.4 preoperatively and 94.9 postoperatively at a mean 25 months' follow-up. These results were comparable to reported data, whatever the deformity.
