Podiatry Management
Social media is word-of-mouth amplified, which
can work for or against a
medical practice. A positive online reputation can
position you as an industry leader,
in addition to building patient trust
and loyalty. On the flip side, if your
brand is not effectively managed, it
could sabotage your practice.

Meaghan Carter died alone on the sofa of her suburban Dayton, Ohio, apartment last Christmas.
Like most people with Type 1 diabetes, the 47-year-old nurse had a kit of essential supplies within reach. It contained two empty vials of her preferred insulin, a partial vial of inexpensive Walmart insulin and a half-filled container of testing strips to measure blood glucose levels.

This study aimed to investigate the plantar contact condition in females and to clarify the relationship between the foot alignment and floating toes classified in static and dynamic conditions. The participants were 122 females. We evaluated the plantar contact condition, calculated the floating toe score, and classified the floating toes of the participants. The floating toes were classified into improvable and unimprovable floating toe groups based on the floating toe score measured in dynamic conditions.

Since Ryerson’s original description of hindfoot arthrodesis, much has changed, including a variety of incision approaches as well as a growing number of fixation techniques. The number of joints included in the hindfoot arthrodesis for many surgeons has also evolved to include only subtalar and talonavicular joints, or the “double” arthrodesis.

Feet. They’re a part of the body we don’t pay too much attention to, if at all. That is, unless something looks off or we're in pain.
April is National Foot Health Awareness Month, so it's a good time to make sure you know what common problems are, as well as when to see a doctor.

Gait & Posture
The influence of aging on reactive control of balance during walking has been mainly investigated in the sagittal plane, whereas balance control in response to frontal plane perturbations is largely unexplored in the elderly. This is remarkable, given that walking mainly requires active control in the frontal plane. An extensive gait perturbation protocol was used to test whether reactive control of walking balance changes with aging and whether these changes are more pronounced in the frontal than in the sagittal plane.
