Quantifying the quasi-static angle and base of gait: a preliminary investigation comparing footprints and a clinical method.email this articleEmail this article to a colleague. save this article to My ClippingsSave this article to My Clippings. discuss this articleDiscuss or comment on this article.
Although the angle and base of gait are useful parameters commonly measured in podiatric medical practice, a standardized procedure has yet to be defined. Static footprints and clinical tracings of the perimeters of both feet were investigated in 25 asymptomatic subjects (17 women and 8 men). The intrarater reliability of each measurement condition was assessed using intraclass correlation coefficients and ranged from 0.965 to 0.981 for the angle of gait and from 0.979 to 0.986 for the base of gait. Both sets of data were compared using paired t-tests and demonstrated no significant differences (P > .001) for the an...

Although physician appearance has been a topic of discussion in the medical literature for many years, no objective research has been performed on this topic in the field of podiatric medicine. Our primary objective was to examine patient confidence in physicians as it relates to professional clinic attire versus casual or scrub outfits. We also assessed the influence of other variables, such as white coat, name tag, age, and sex, on patient confidence. We surveyed 155 podiatric medical patients from a private practice and a hospital-based clinic. The results indicate that 68% of patients surveyed felt that professiona...

We describe a 70-year-old nonimmunocompromised woman with spontaneous bilateral ankle and midfoot sepsis and a deep-space abscess of the right lower leg. Salvage of both limbs was achieved by aggressive bilateral soft-tissue and osseous debridement, including a four-compartment fasciotomy of the right lower leg, antibiotic-loaded polymethyl methacrylate bone cement implantation, delayed allogeneic bone grafting of the osseous defects impregnated with autologous platelet-rich plasma bilaterally, and external fixation immobilization, implantable bone growth stimulation, and split-thickness skin graft coverage of the right lo...

A 19-year-old woman presented with pain at the lateral side of the fifth toe of her left foot, which was separated from the adjacent toe. Initial examination suggested dislocation of the fifth metatarsophalangeal joint due to a past fracture. Radiographs showed a mass arising from the proximal phalanx of the little toe, with no medullary and cortical continuity. Excisional biopsy of the mass was performed, and a histologic diagnosis of bizarre parosteal osteochondromatous proliferation of bone (Nora's lesion) was made.

Metatarsus adductus deformity should be recognized and addressed appropriately and in a timely fashion so as to achieve an effective correction with low rates of recurrence. Early diagnosis and treatment are of paramount importance, because spontaneous resolution is rare. Although nonoperative treatment is desirable via manipulation and soft tissue stretching and serial cast immobilization, appropriate surgical intervention needs to be used on occasion to achieve correction of resistant cases. Depending on the severity and flexibility of the deformity and the age of the patient, various methods of surgical reconstructi...

Talar neck osteotomy for flatfoot reconstruction: a 27-year follow-up study.email this articleEmail this article to a colleague. save this article to My ClippingsSave this article to My Clippings. discuss this articleDiscuss or comment on this article.
The talar neck osteotomy is done at the junction of the head and neck of the talus, frequently in conjunction with desmoplasty and posterior tibial tendon advancement. This is done effectively to correct severe deformities involving the talus. The correction produces a structural realignment of the talar head. Adjunctive procedures are also done when these are deformities involving the posterior column, lateral column, and/or medial column. A 27-year follow-up study is presented containing data from 215 procedures on 117 patients with a minimum of one year follow-up. PMID: 16598909 [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE]

The specific procedures listed are a guide to reduce our failures while continually improving our successes. PMID: 16598910 [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE]

Traditional treatment for clubfoot usually includes initial casting and an extensive posterior medial soft tissue release with biplanar pinning, followed by more casting. This treatment has significant risks, complications, and the potential for a poorer prognosis as the patients age, usually with stiff and scarred feet. In contradistinction, Ignacio Ponseti has been using his unique technique of clubfoot manipulation, casting, and Achilles tenotomy for more than 50 years with a high degree of success. Currently, there are many peer-reviewed and independently verified studies that replicate his success in treating club...

Preseason preconditioning can be accomplished well over a 4-week period with a mandatory period of rest as we have discussed. Athletic participation must be guided by a gradual increase of skills performance in the child assessed after a responsible preconditioning program applying physiologic parameters as outlined. Clearly, designing a preconditioning program is a dynamic process when accounting for all the variables in training discussed so far. Despite the physiologic demands of sport and training, we still need to acknowledge the psychologic maturity and welfare of the child so as to ensure that the sport environm...

Charcot's or neuropathic osteoarthropathy is one of the most debilitating orthopedic sequelae of diabetes mellitus. Distinguishing Charcot's neuroarthropathy from clinically similar conditions may be challenging. The neurovascular theory postulates that Charcot's neuroarthropathy may be secondary to sympathetic denervation of the lower-extremity vasculature. A convenient method for assessing autonomic neuropathy in patients with Charcot's neuroarthropathy is needed. Short-term power spectral analysis (PSA) of heart rate variability (HRV), a noninvasive and quantitative method for assessing autonomic neuropathy, may be ...

Also, two suspension plaster casting techniques were used: accommodative casting (C) and functional subtalar joint neutral position (Root) method (D).

Recent debate and literature have provided impetus to the growing body of thought that we should not model the midtarsal joint as having two simultaneous axes of rotation but as having a single instantaneous axis of rotation. Building on this concept, we present new reference terminology and propose that descriptions of midtarsal joint kinetics and kinematics relate to moments and motion in the cardinal body planes as defined by the x-, y-, and z-axes of the local reference system of the calcaneus. This replaces the existing terminology that describes the oblique and longitudinal axes for the midtarsal joint. The purpo...

Verrucae are small, benign, highly vascular epithelial neoplasms that occur singly or in a multiple presentation.

This article describes a patient with lesser-metatarsal stress fractures resulting from an oblique Wilson displacement first metatarsal osteotomy. The shortening of the first metatarsal forces the lesser metatarsals to bear the weight previously borne by the first ray and increases the compression stress on the adjacent metatarsal heads. The proximal displacement of the osteotomy must be minimized in order to limit the risk of stress fracture of the lesser metatarsals. PMID: 16415285 [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE]

CONCLUSIONS: This study utilized practice parameters as a form of feedback for a comparative analysis of DoD chiropractic internship participants and nonparticipants and found no significant differences between these groups. Limitations of the study may have influenced the results. Opportunities for chiropractic students to train within these settings remains limited and should be further explored, as should additional research into this component of chiropractic clinical education.

How much health promotion and disease prevention is enough?: should chiropractic colleges focus on efficacy training in screening for family violence?email this articleEmail this article to a colleague. save this article to My ClippingsSave this article to My Clippings. discuss this articleDiscuss or comment on this article.
CONCLUSION: As chiropractors become more mainstream portal-of-entry providers, there is a clear need to translate the didactics of family violence into the clinical setting. Clinical education may provide students the opportunity to master basic competencies for managing challenging family violence problems.
