A survey of foot problems in community-dwelling older Greek Australians

Patricia Kaoulla, Nicoletta Frescos, Hylton B Menz

Journal of Foot and Ankle Research > 2011 > 4 > 1 > 1-7

Background Foot problems are common in older people and are associated with impaired mobility and quality of life. However, the characteristics of foot problems in older Australians for whom English is a second language have not been evaluated. Methods One hundred and four community-dwelling people aged 64 to 90 years with disabling foot pain (according to the case definition of the Manchester Foot...

Inter and intra-rater repeatability of the scoring of foot pain drawings

Benjamin D Chatterton, Sara Muller, Martin J Thomas, Hylton B Menz, more

Journal of Foot and Ankle Research > 2013 > 6 > 1 > 1-7

Background Foot pain drawings (manikins) are commonly used to describe foot pain location in self-report health surveys. Respondents shade the manikin where they experience pain. The manikin is then scored via a transparent overlay that divides the drawings into areas. In large population based studies they are often scored by multiple raters. A difference in how different raters score manikins (inter-rater...

A comparison of gait biomechanics of flip-flops, sandals, barefoot and shoes

Xiuli Zhang, Max R Paquette, Songning Zhang

Journal of Foot and Ankle Research > 2013 > 6 > 1 > 1-8

Background Flip-flops and sandals are popular choices of footwear due to their convenience. However, the effects of these types of footwear on lower extremity biomechanics are still poorly understood. Therefore, the objective of this study was to investigate differences in ground reaction force (GRF), center of pressure (COP) and lower extremity joint kinematic and kinetic variables during level-walking...

Lower leg muscle strengthening does not redistribute plantar load in diabetic polyneuropathy: a randomised controlled trial

Tom Melai, Nicolaas C Schaper, T Herman IJzerman, Ton Lh de Lange, more

Journal of Foot and Ankle Research > 2013 > 6 > 1 > 1-10

Background Higher plantar pressures play an important role in the development of plantar foot ulceration in diabetic polyneuropathy and earlier studies suggest that higher pressures under the forefoot may be related to a decrease in lower leg muscle strength. Therefore, in this randomised controlled trial we evaluated whether lower-extremity strength training can reduce plantar pressures in diabetic...

Evaluation of multi-segmental kinematic modelling in the paediatric foot using three concurrent foot models

Ryan Mahaffey, Stewart C Morrison, Wendy I Drechsler, Mary C Cramp

Journal of Foot and Ankle Research > 2013 > 6 > 1 > 1-11

Background Various foot models are used in the analysis of foot motion during gait and selection of the appropriate model can be difficult. The clinical utility of a model is dependent on the repeatability of the data as well as an understanding of the expected error in the process of data collection. Kinematic assessment of the paediatric foot is challenging and little is reported about multi-segment...

Dynamic foot function as a risk factor for lower limb overuse injury: a systematic review

Geoffrey J Dowling, George S Murley, Shannon E Munteanu, Melinda M Franettovich Smith, more

Journal of Foot and Ankle Research > 2014 > 7 > 1 > 1-13

Background Dynamic foot function is considered a risk factor for lower limb overuse injuries including Achilles tendinopathy, shin pain, patellofemoral pain and stress fractures. However, no single source has systematically appraised and summarised the literature to evaluate this proposed relationship. The aim of this systematic review was to investigate dynamic foot function as a risk factor for...

The effectiveness of lasers in the treatment of onychomycosis: a systematic review

Ivan R Bristow

Journal of Foot and Ankle Research > 2014 > 7 > 1 > 1-10

Background Onychomycosis is a common nail pathology which has proven to be a treatment challenge to healthcare professionals. Antifungal drugs have been the mainstay of therapy for many years. Recently, laser technologies have been introduced as a treatment for onychomycosis avoiding the disadvantages of systemic and topical drug therapies, offering a rapid treatment for an often persistent nail...

A comparison of hallux valgus angles assessed with computerised plantar pressure measurements, clinical examination and radiography in patients with diabetes

Daniël Mc Janssen, Antal P Sanders, Nick A Guldemond, Joris Hermus, more

Journal of Foot and Ankle Research > 2014 > 7 > 1 > 1-9

Background Hallux valgus deformity is a common musculoskeletal foot disorder with a prevalence of 3.5% in adolescents to 35.7% in adults aged over 65 years. Radiographic measurements of hallux valgus angles (HVA) are considered to be the most reproducible and accurate assessment of HVA. However, in European countries, many podiatrists do not have direct access to radiographic facilities. Therefore,...

Open versus endoscopic bone resection of the dorsolateral calcaneal edge: a cadaveric analysis comparing three dimensional CT scans

Klaus Edgar Roth, Ramona Mueller, Eike Schwand, Gerrit Stefen Maier, more

Journal of Foot and Ankle Research > 2014 > 7 > 1 > 1-8

Background It has been claimed that endoscopic calcaneoplasty offers some advantages over open techniques in the surgical treatment of Haglund’s deformity due to reduced postoperative complications like stiffness and pain. Bony over-resection places patients at risk of these complications. The resulting question with regard to the quantitative differences of the extent of the bone removed using these...

Modifying the Rizzoli foot model to improve the diagnosis of pes-planus: application to kinematics of feet in teenagers

Nicola Portinaro, Alberto Leardini, Artemisia Panou, Valerio Monzani, more

Journal of Foot and Ankle Research > 2014 > 7 > 1 > 1-7

Background A number of multi-segment foot protocols have been proposed to obtain measurements of clinical value. In the clinical assessment of foot pathologies and deformities, such as in the pes-planus, the frontal-plane alignment of the calcaneus and the dynamic properties of the medial longitudinal arch are critical parameters though often neglected by the majority of foot protocols. The aim of...

Maximum toe flexor muscle strength and quantitative analysis of human plantar intrinsic and extrinsic muscles by a magnetic resonance imaging technique

Toshiyuki Kurihara, Junichiro Yamauchi, Mitsuo Otsuka, Nobuaki Tottori, more

Journal of Foot and Ankle Research > 2014 > 7 > 1 > 1-6

Background The aims of this study were to investigate the relationships between the maximum isometric toe flexor muscle strength (TFS) and cross-sectional area (CSA) of the plantar intrinsic and extrinsic muscles and to identify the major determinant of maximum TFS among CSA of the plantar intrinsic and extrinsic muscles. Methods Twenty six young healthy participants (14 men, 12...

An evaluation of seasonal variations in footwear worn by adults with inflammatory arthritis: a cross-sectional observational study using a web-based survey

Angela Brenton-Rule, Gordon J Hendry, Georgina Barr, Keith Rome

Journal of Foot and Ankle Research > 2014 > 7 > 1 > 1-7

Background Foot problems are common in adults with inflammatory arthritis and therapeutic footwear can be effective in managing arthritic foot problems. Accessing appropriate footwear has been identified as a major barrier, resulting in poor adherence to treatment plans involving footwear. Indeed, previous New Zealand based studies found that many people with rheumatoid arthritis and gout wore inappropriate...

Intra-observer reliability for measuring first and second toe and metatarsal protrusion distance using palpation-based tests: a test-retest study

Carmen-Belén Martínez-Cepa, Juan-Carlos Zuil-Escobar, Raquel Chillón-Martínez, José-Jesús Jiménez-Rejano, more

Journal of Foot and Ankle Research > 2014 > 7 > 1 > 1-6

Background Measurement of first and second metatarsal and toe protrusion is frequently used to explain foot problems using x-rays, osteological measurements or palpation-based tests. Length differences could be related to the appearance of problems in the foot. A test-retest design was conducted in order to establish the intra-rater reliability of three palpation-based tests. Methods 202 feet of...
