External rotation of the foot associated with mid-foot break is a commonly observed gait abnormality in diplegic CP patients. Previous studies have shown a correlation between equinus and internal hip rotation in hemiplegic patients. This study aimed to determine if there was a correlation between the amount of transverse plane rotation in diplegic CP patients using kinematic data from standard...

BACKGROUND Different foot postures are associated with alterations in foot function, kinetics and the subsequent occurrence of injury. Little is known about changes in foot posture following prolonged weightbearing exercise. This study aimed to identify changes in foot posture after running a half marathon. METHODS Foot posture was measured using the Foot Posture Index (FPI-6) and navicular h...

We hypothesized an association between foot type, foot deformity, and foot ulceration and conducted an analysis of a well-characterized, high-risk diabetic population of 398 subjects. The average age was 62 years of age and 74% of the study population were males. Foot-type distributions were 19.5% pes cavus (high arch), 51.5% neutrally aligned (normal arch), and 29.0% pes planus (low arch). We ...

OBJECTIVE To assess the knowledge and practices among the diabetic patients regarding foot care. METHODS In this cross sectional study, by using non-probability convenience sampling, 150 diabetic respondents fulfilling the inclusion criteria were included in the study. Their knowledge and practices regarding foot care were assessed by a pre-tested questionnaire and classified as good, satisfa...

conclusion in cases with critical atherosclerotic disease of anterior tibial artery, pta-based biphasic or triphasic retrograde collateral flow prevents ischemia, whereas monophasic support or no retrograde flow remains incapable. results in the patient group, 31 lower limb arteries, of total of 17 cases, were included. after compression maneuver, dpa in 11 cases (six right, five left) showed r...

introduction:we evaluated the performance of muscle perfusion scan (mps) to assess muscle perfusion reserve (mpr) for prediction of incident diabetic foot ulcerations (dfu). methods: we recruited 41 diabetic patients without any history of dfu. five mci 99mtc-mibi was injected intravenously during repetitive dorsal and plantar right foot flexions. then posterior calves were imaged and the count...

background: the differentiation of infected diabetic foot ulcers (idfu) from non infected diabetic foot ulcers (nidfu) is a challenging issue for clinicians. objectives: recently, procalcitonin (pct) was introduced as a remarkable inflammatory marker. we aimed to evaluate the accuracy of pct in comparison to other inflammatory markers for distinguishing idfu from nidfu. conclusions: these resul...

BACKGROUND Foot problems are highly prevalent in people with inflammatory arthritis reported from studies in the UK, Europe and New Zealand, but there is limited evidence from Southeast Asia. The study aim was to evaluate the prevalence of foot problems in people with inflammatory arthritis in Singapore. METHODS People with inflammatory arthritis were recruited from the rheumatology outpatien...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effectiveness of at-home infrared temperature monitoring as a preventative tool in individuals at high risk for diabetes-related lower-extremity ulceration and amputation. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Eighty-five patients who fit diabetic foot risk category 2 or 3 (neuropathy and foot deformity or previous history of ulceration or partial foot amputation) were randomi...
