Foot pain: is current or past shoewear a factor?

13 Oct 2009 OBJECTIVE: Foot pain is common, yet few studies have examined the condition in relationship to shoewear. In this cross-sectional study of men and women from the population-based Framingham Study, the association between foot pain and type of ... Read more...

A new ankle foot orthosis for running.

30 Aug 2009 Traumatic knee injuries in automobile accidents and sports often lead to damage of the peroneal nerve. A lack of control of muscles innervated by the peroneal nerve due to this damage, results in the inability to dorsiflex and evert the foot and to ... Read more...

Intraobserver reliability of static measures in the normally developing infant foot and clubfoot.

30 Aug 2009 Static measures data for infants are used in clinical practice and studies without published reliabilities. Intraobserver reliabilities for static measures were assessed in normally developing feet and clubfeet. Coefficient of repeatability was used ... Read more...
