READ MORE .PROFESSION NEWS Surgical or non-surgical treatment of plantar fasciopathy (SOFT): Study protocol for a randomized controlled trial Trials via BMC Plantar fasciopathy is the most common reason for complaints of plantar heel pain and one of the most prevalent musculoskeletal conditions with a reported lifetime incidence of 10%. The condition is normally considered self-limiting with persistent symptoms that often last for several months or years. Multiple treatments are available, but no single treatment appears superior to the others. READ MORE The effect of backpack load on intersegmental motions of the foot and plantar pressure in individuals with mild flatfoot Journal of Foot and Ankle Research The feet play an essential role in shock absorption, and foot posture is closely related to gait. The compensatory mechanism under heavy-load conditions in individuals with mild flatfoot is poorly understood. In the authors' country, individuals with mild flatfoot are drafted as active-duty soldiers and participate in military rucking wearing heavy backpacks. READ MORE The foot and ankle kinematics of a simulated progressive collapsing foot deformity during stance phase: A cadaveric study American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society Progressive collapsing foot deformity (PCFD) is a complex pathology associated with tendon insufficiency, ligamentous failure, joint malalignment, and aberrant plantar force distribution. Existing knowledge of PCFD consists of static measurements, which provide information about structure but little about foot and ankle kinematics during gait.

CURRENT RESEARCH ARTICLES OF INTEREST Many-faceted rasch calibration of the foot function index-revised short form Journal of Foot and Ankle Research The Foot Function Index Revised Short version (FFI-RS) is a foot- and ankle- patient-reported outcome measure (PROM), developed from the Foot Function Index (FFI). Previous studies, estimating item parameters and multidimensional properties, have limitations properly establishing the measurement properties of the FFI-RS. A multi-faceted Rasch analysis with a larger sample would allow for a more robust validation approach to improve the clinical interpretation of the FFI-RS using a multidimensional perspective. READ MORE New bandage treatment, scaffold may revolutionise diabetic foot ulcer treatment Medical Dialogues A new bandage treatment has been designed by researchers at Queen's University Belfast which is cost-effective for treating DFU, while improving patient outcomes. Known as a scaffold, it is produced by 3D bioprinting. The bandage treatment scaffolds slowly releases antibiotics over a four-week period to effectively treat the wound. READ MORE Anterior knee pain syndrome — a problem of tracking South Platte Sentinel This week we are going to discuss anterior knee pain syndrome, a condition that largely affects young athletes and is a painful condition of the knee that can be approached from several different angles. Anterior knee pain syndrome otherwise known as patellofemoral tracking syndrome is a condition in which the patella or kneecap is not tracking straight within the trochlear groove of the femur.
