Flatfoot is a condition brought on by trauma, persistent foot stress, obesity, and poor biomechanics. These factors result in the development of a flat foot, collapse of the foot arch, and malfunction of the posterior tibial tendon. This study aimed to assess the immediate effects of Kinesio Tape on static plantar foot pressure and force in young females with flexible flatfoot.

Approximately one-third of the adult population is affected by hallux valgus (HV). Surgical interventions are successful in reducing deformity; however, postoperative complications are common. There is growing evidence for prehabilitation and rehabilitation strategies in orthopaedic surgeries. However, the effectiveness of such strategies in HV surgery is currently unknown.

Recent evidence suggests that appropriate footwear can facilitate recovery in individuals with plantar fasciitis. This study evaluated the effectiveness of combining arch-supportive, shock-absorbing flip-flop sandals with physical therapy (PT) compared to PT alone in treating plantar fasciitis.

Ankle sprain (AS), a prevalent sports injury, often progresses to chronic ankle instability (CAI) and post-traumatic arthritis if inadequately treated. Despite known clinical manifestations, the molecular mechanisms driving poor rehabilitation outcomes remain unclear. This review aims to explore the pathological changes in anatomical structure and signaling pathways in AS, as well as the therapeutic strategies associated with these mechanisms.

Arch-support insoles are used to reduce symptoms in patients with plantar fasciitis. However, the evidence supporting their clinical effectiveness is mixed. This study evaluated the clinical effects of arch-support insoles by assessing changes in symptom relief, radiographic foot alignment and plantar pressure distribution.

Peripheral musculoskeletal structures may undergo secondary changes after stroke, but tendon-specific adaptations and functional recovery are not well defined. This study examined lower extremity tendon thickness in patients with post-stroke hemiplegia. 45 patients with post-stroke hemiplegia completed a 4-week rehabilitation program. Quadriceps, patellar, Achilles tendon and plantar fascia…

Morton’s neuroma is a prevalent cause of forefoot pain, often proving refractory to conventional conservative treatments. This case report describes a 25-year-old female nurse presenting with debilitating Morton’s neuroma located in the second intermetatarsal space, who had not responded to prior conservative therapies. The patient underwent ultrasound-guided pulsed radiofrequency (PRF) treatment.

Despite evidence from the past decade on daily steps and health-related outcomes, existing systematic reviews primarily focused on few outcomes, such as all-cause mortality. For this systematic review and meta-analysis, researchers searched PubMed and EBSCO CINAHL for literature published between Jan 1, 2014 and Feb 14, 2025. For all-cause mortality, cardiovascular…
