Equinovarus hindfoot deformity is one of the most common deformities in children with spastic paralysis ; it is usually secondary to cerebral palsy. Split tibialis posterior tendon transfer is performed to balance the flexible spastic varus foot and is preferable to tibialis posterior lengthening, as the muscle does not loose its power and therefore the possibility of a valgus or calcaneovalgus...

Abstract Background Musculoskeletal ultrasound is a useful, noninvasive tool to detect anatomical damage in the hyaline cartilage, synovial tissue, and tendons of individuals with asymptomatic hyperuricemia. This study aimed determine frequency musculoskeletal ultrasonographic findings related hyperuricemia among CKD patients its relation chronic pain their quality life. Results Double contour ...

Abstract Background The posterior tibialis tendon dysfunction (PTTD) is typically associated with progressive flatfoot deformity, which could be alleviated foot orthosis. However, the evaluation of (TP) weakness on lower limb mechanics adults orthoses scarce and requires further investigation. Research question This study aimed to examine effects TP in orthosis through gait analysis musculoskel...

The Anterior Tibialis Tendon (ATT) is usually the site of minor injuries due to its straight course, however, overuse still possible repetitive foot dorsiflexion. This tendon crosses anteromedial aspect ankle running toward medial border under inferior and superior extensor retinacula inserts at level cuneiform base first metatarsal bone. It can be prone tendinosis, tenosynovitis, partial or co...

In rheumatoid arthritis, pathologic changes in structures and in gait kinematics of the foot and ankle occur from onset of the disease. The aim of this study was to explore the relationship between these clinical and kinematic factors at various phases of stance. Foot and ankle kinematics of 25 subjects with RA was assessed and related to the following clinical factors: Magnetic Resonance Imagi...
