Introduction. All disorders are temporary as a natural consequence of ontogenetic processes usually disappearing after puberty. Therefore, it is important to provide incentives in this period order maintain physical activity at previously achieved level and try shape the parameters feet through exerting conscious influence on body trunk parameters. Material method. The study conducted with grou...

BackgroundTibialis posterior tendon, deltoid ligament and spring are the three most important structures on medial aspect of foot. They contribute to stability foot ankle also maintenance arches These get affected dimensions disrupted in various traumatic degenerative conditions. Normal range these has not been studied an Indian population. Our objective is define normal thicknesses using a cad...

There is evidence to suggest being overweight or obese places adults at greater risk of developing foot complications such as osteoarthritis, tendonitis and plantar fasciitis. However, no research has comprehensively examined the effects of overweight or obesity on the feet of individuals older than 60 years of age. Therefore we investigated whether foot pain, foot structure, and/or foot functi...

We report the sequential use of a pedicled fillet foot flap in a clinical case of complex bilateral lower extremity trauma to achieve stable wound closure, maximizing length preservation and gait rehabilitation. In addition, we perform a literature review of the use of fillet foot flaps in lower extremity trauma.

We propose two on-line algorithms for stride parameter estimation an in-shoe motion-sensor system (IMS) system: one segmentation based on stable foot-flat detection using foot-sole angle and the other a three-dimensional zero-velocity-update accurate parameterization. developed small lightweight IMS device, which consists of inertial measurement unit, micro control peripheral electrical compone...

Background Patellofemoral pain is a common disorder whose aetiology is multifactorial and is often attributed to foot function. Foot orthoses are commonly prescribed for this condition; however the mechanisms by which they work are poorly understood. Previous studies using single segment foot models have hypothesised that it may be control of the midfoot which holds the key to understanding ort...

AIM To evaluate the linear variability of comfortable gait according to socioeconomic status in community-dwelling elderly. METHOD For this cross-sectional observational study 63 self- functioning elderly were categorized according to the socioeconomic level on medium-low (n= 33, age 69.0 ± 5.0 years) and medium-high (n= 30, age 71.0 ± 6.0 years). Each participant was asked to perform comfort...

This study compared the biomechanical characteristics of stepping in 10 older (aged 55+ years) Tai Chi (TC) practitioners and 10 age-matched non-TC (NTC) controls. Subjects were asked to take a step on an auditory cue as fast as possible, in the forward and backward directions, and with and without mental distractions, respectively. Stepping characteristics included step initiation time, prepar...

This study aimed to investigate factors affecting length of hospital stay and mortality of a specific group of patients with infected diabetic foot ulcer who underwent surgical drainage without major amputation, which is frequently encountered by orthopedic surgeons. Data on length of hospital stay, mortality, demographics, and other medical information were collected for 79 consecutive patient...

Deformities of the foot result in loss walking function. The skeletal structure develops during childhood, and quantitative assessment is warranted. In healthy children, length navicular height have been studied individually; however, has not sufficiently its entirety, growth curve clarified. particular, heel an important site influencing biomechanics. this study, we developed a three-dimension...
