A number of advantages have been claimed in the recent literature for theories that allow recursive, or internally layered, feet (Bennett 2012, Kager 2012, Martínez-Paricio 2013). The claimed advantages lie in the ability of recursive feet to capture phenomena associated with ternary stress configurations, whether the patterns involve repeating ternary configurations, ternary configurations emb...

Foot imbalance is an important cause of foot related lameness and should be assessed and addressed early on in the lameness investigation. Full assessment of the feet should involve inspection from lateral, dorsal and solar aspects with particular attention to foot and shoe balance, conformation and horn quality. Radiographs can be used as adjuncts to assessment. Trimming and shoeing protocols ...

PURPOSE To investigate the association between medial tibial stress syndrome (MTSS) and morphology and flexibility of the foot arches. METHODS 131 feet from 74 healthy subjects and 31 feet from 27 patients with MTSS were classified as normal feet (n=78 in 40 subjects), flat feet (n=53 in 34 subjects), or MTSS feet (n=31 in 27 patients). The medial longitudinal arch (MLA) ratio and the transve...

Methods A technical evaluation of the capabilities of the Red Maple Trials Allergen Challenge Theatre was performed. The theatre is a 4-zone facility holding up to 99 seats in a series of elevated rows. Grass (Phleum pratense) and ragweed (Ambrosia artemisiifolia) pollens were injected into the air supply and blown into the facility through ducts located across the top of the front wall. Grass ...
