Sonographic evaluation of plantar hindfoot and midfoot pain.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Plantar hindfoot and midfoot pain is a common orthopedic condition. Plantar fasciopathy is the most common cause of plantar foot pain, and sonographic evaluation can easily show the characteristic pathologic changes. In addition, sonography is well suited to evaluate other potential causes of plantar foot pain. We present a review of the sonographic findings of plantar fasciopathy and other potential causes of plantar hindfoot and midfoot pain.

Comparability of off the shelf foot orthoses in the redistribution of forces in midfoot osteoarthritis patients
BACKGROUND Midfoot osteoarthritis (OA) is more prevalent and strongly associated with pain than previously thought. Excessive mechanical loading of the midfoot structures may contribute to midfoot OA and studies suggest that functional foot orthoses (FFO) may relieve pain through improving function. This exploratory study aimed to evaluate the mechanical effect of two off-the-shelf FFOs, compar...
متن کاملChanges in gait associated with acute stage II posterior tibial tendon dysfunction.
The purpose of this study was to examine differences in gait mechanics between patients with acute stage II PTTD and healthy volunteers. Hindfoot and midfoot kinematics, plantar foot pressures and electromyographic (EMG) activity of the posterior tibialis, gastrocnemius, anterior tibialis and the peroneals were measured in five patients with acute stage II PTTD. Kinematics and kinetics were com...
متن کاملIs barefoot regional plantar loading related to self-reported foot pain in patients with midfoot osteoarthritis.
OBJECTIVE While recent evidence suggests that foot pain may be related to mechanical stress, quantitative data elucidating the role of regional plantar loading in foot pain in individuals with midfoot osteoarthritis (OA) are lacking. Therefore the authors' objective is to examine regional plantar loading and self-reported foot pain in patients with midfoot OA compared to asymptomatic, matched c...
متن کاملEvaluation of plantar pressure distributions in patients with anteriorcruciate ligament deficiency: preoperative and postoperative changes.
BACKGROUND/AIM Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) deficiency results in several kinematic changes in the lower extremities. The aim of this study is to define the plantar pressure parameters in ACL-deficient patients and to show the effect of ACL reconstruction on dynamic plantar pressure. MATERIALS AND METHODS Forty patients with unilateral ACL rupture and 40 healthy controls were included in ...
متن کاملVariation in the location of the shoe sole flexion point influences plantar loading patterns during gait
BACKGROUND Several footwear design characteristics are known to have detrimental effects on the foot. However, one characteristic that has received relatively little attention is the point where the sole flexes in the sagittal plane. Several footwear assessment forms assume that this should ideally be located directly under the metarsophalangeal joints (MTPJs), but this has not been directly ev...
