Walking is part of daily life and in asymptomatic subjects it is relatively easy. The physiology of walking is complex and when this complex control system fails, the risk of falls increases. As a result, gait disorders have a major impact on the older adult population and have increased in frequency as a result of population aging. Therefore,...

Creemos pertinente este estudio porque es necesario aumentar el campo de conocimiento de la podología, ya que no existen trabajos previos donde se establezca la prevalencia de esta alteración en nuestro ámbito geográfico. Al ser una enfermedad adquirida y progresiva (37,38), supone un gran problema de salud pública en mayores, generando una...

This work presents a protocol to prevent the transmission of multidrug-resistant infections. We focus on the Diabetic Foot Unit Podiatry Clinic Area attached to the University of Seville in particular. The most common complication for patients with diabetes is leg ulcers. Together with neuropathy, vasculopathy, and immunological response...

In 2020, the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 pandemic. This infectious pathology can be associated with different manifestations in different body systems, among which are dermatological lesions. The purpose of this work is to determine the most frequent dermatological signs, in the lower limbs, produced by SARS-CoV-2. To carry...

El pie plano valgo infantil es una de las patologías que se presenta con mayor frecuencia en la práctica clínica ortopodológica. Es además una preocupación común para los padres y continúa siendo un tema debatido por los profesionales de la salud. Se realiza una búsqueda bibliográfica con el objetivo de evaluar la efectividad del tratamiento...

Chronic low back pain and biomechanical walking imbalances are closely related. It is relevant to identify if there are alterations in spatiotemporal gait patterns in subjects with CLBP (cases) versus healthy subjects (controls) to plan training interventions of motor control gait patterns, and thus allowing normal physical activity of the...

Objective: To determine if health education has an influence on podiatric knowledge, self-care, and conditions in adults with diabetes mellitus. Data Sources: The authors conducted a literature search for Spanish-, English-, and Portuguese-language publications using PubMed, Scopus, Dialnet, and CUIDEN. Study Selection: Selected keywords...

Background: Plantar fasciitis is a painful disorder that affects the plantar fascia of the foot, with a multifactorial aetiology. Dorsal flexion deficiency in the ankle is a risk factor for it. The provisional use of taping is described as part of conservative treatment. Dynamic Tape® is a type of tape that, adhered to muscles, allows for...

The study of the foot is relevant in kinematic analyses of gait. Images captured through a lens can be subjected to various aberrations or distortions that affect the measurements. An in vitro study was performed with a rearfoot simulator to compare the apparent degrees (photographed) with the real ones (placed in the simulator) in the plane of...

This study focuses on the assessment of the mechanical effect produced by Morton's extension as an orthopedic intervention in patients with bilateral foot pronation posture, through a variation in hindfoot and forefoot prone-supinator forces during the stance phase of gait. A quasi-experimental and transversal research was designed comparing...

Background: The aim of this study is to explore the changes in ground reaction force (GRF) produced by custom-made weightbearing and nonweight-bearing foot orthoses and by a prefabricated foot orthosis, in the control of the pronated foot. Methods: Thirty-nine participants were recruited. All were in good health, aged 18 to 25 years, and...

Ehlers–Danlos syndrome is a heterogeneous group of connective tissue disorders causing pain, fatigue, and disabilities; it has several implications for patients who suffer from this disease. The major clinical manifestations of EDS include joint hypermobility, skin hyperextensibility, and generalized conjunctive tissue fragility. This research...

Foot problems are highly prevalent in people with rheumatoid arthritis. This study aims to explore the foot morphology, pain and function in rheumatoid arthritis patients and the relation with the time of disease debut. A cross-sectional study was designed. Footprint, the Foot Posture Index, the hallux valgus prevalence, foot pain and function...

Background: Diabetes Mellitus (DM) has become one of the main problems of health, which might lead to a series of complications, such as peripheral vasculopathy. Purpose: The objectives of this study were to determine whether peripheral artery disease affects the quality of life and pain level and functionality of the foot in patients with...

The co-existence of complications and diabetes mellitus is related to a worsening in quality of life compared to not presenting comorbidities. This study aimed to investigate whether there is a different impact on quality of life according to gender and to establish the physiological parameters that these patients have in relation to...

Antecedentes y objetivo: En este trabajo se pretende describir el tipo de pie y las alteraciones podológicas más frecuentes, el nivel de dolor, la discapacidad, la fatiga y la alteración de la calidad de vida que presentan los pacientes con síndrome de Ehlers-Danlos (SED). Materiales y métodos: Treinta y ocho individuos con SED tipo hipermóvil...

Background: Measurement of first and second metatarsal and toe protrusion is frequently used to explain foot problems using x-rays, osteological measurements or palpation-based tests. Length differences could be related to the appearance of problems in the foot. A test-retest design was conducted in order to establish the intra-rater...

Objetivo: Describir características de los pies de pacientes con lupus eritematoso sistémico (LES) como la postura y el tipo de pie, la presencia de deformidades, y si manifiestan o no dolor. Pacientes y métodos: Se trata de un estudio observacional transversal. Se cuantifica el dolor del pie mediante la Numeric Pain Rating Scale 11...

El Hallux Abductus Valgus (HAV), comúnmente llamado juanete, se define como la desviación lateral del primer dedo del pie y su rotación en valgo. Su origen es multifactorial, existiendo etiología patomecánica de base: hiperpronación subastragalina, excesiva longitud del primer me tatarsiano y/o del primer dedo, o la insuficiencia del...

Background: Pain and fatigue are major clinical manifestations in patients with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS). The aim of this study is to measure change of the effects of custom-made foot orthotics on some manifestations related to EDS, such as foot pain, foot functionality, fatigue, and quality of life. Methods: Thirty-six patients with EDS...

Techniques of taking casts mainly rely not on the objectivity of the procedure, but on the experience and skill of the technician. The aim of this study was to demonstrate the efficiency of a technique of taking standing foot casts controlled via pressure sensors. In this way, we mean to objectivize the degree of correction. The study was...

High plantar pressure is the cause of multiple types of foot injuries and one of the main rea- sons for patient visits in podiatry and traumatology. Therefore, there is a need to acquire specific tools to address such injuries. The aim of this study was to determine the absorption capacity of selected materials applied as plantar supports and...

Desde el punto de vista artístico, el zapateado conforma la seña de identidad del baile flamenco, es el principal elemento de creación musical, percutiva en esencia, y su intensidad, velocidad en la ejecución y simetría son principios fundamentales para un profesional. Desde una visión podológica, es literalmente un gesto lesivo. El zapateado...

Background: There is little scientific evidence regarding the effectiveness of strengthening exercises on the foot's intrinsic musculature in improving the lower limb on the statics and dynamics in healthy individuals. Method: To evaluate the effect on foot posture with regard to the reinforcement of the short foot exercise (SFE) compared to...
