discussion the prevalence of mtss was relatively lower in this study comparing to other studies on military personnel. it was not probably due to type of military shoes or exercise area surface (none of them were standardized); it could be due to low intensity trainings and the long intervals between training sessions. results data of all the 181 subjects with the mean age of 30.7 ± 4.68 years ...

Chondroblastoma is a rare tumor. It is usually benign; however, it can have an aggressive course before or after operative treatment, even resulting in pulmonary metastases. The foot is a rare location for chondroblastoma, and to our knowledge, chondroblastoma occurring in the navicular bone has not been reported previously in the English literature. We describe a case of navicular chondroblast...

The roentgen appearance and pathogenesis of carpal instability are described in an evaluation of patients and cadavers with rheumatoid arthritis and calcium pyrophosphate deposition disease. Dorsiflexion (16%) and palmar flexion (8%) instability occurs in rheumatoid arthritis, particularly in patients with moderate to advanced disease. Navicular-lunate dissociation frequently accompanies dorsif...

Background: Foot postural alignment has been associated with altered gait pattern. This study aims to investigate kinematic differences in flatfoot subjects’ regarding all lower limb segments compared neutral foot subjects. Methods: A total of 31 participants were recruited (age: 23.26 yo ± 4.43; height: 1.70 m 0.98; weight: 75.14 kg 14.94). 15 subjects integrated into the group, and remaining ...

Previous studies generally selected one foot to classify participants into groups with different types and then analyzed the running or walking biomechanics for limb. Such approach may have neglected possible differences in morphology gait between two limbs. This study aimed compare morphological characteristics kinematics of lower extremities left right limbs among a group healthy, asymptomati...
