Download or read book Impact of Self Selected Customized Orthotics on Lower Limbs Biomechanics written by Benjamin Dourthe and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Customized insoles are commonly prescribed to prevent or treat a variety of foot pathologies and to reduce foot and lower limb fatigue. Due to the patient-specific design and production of such orthotics, the concept of self-selected customized orthotics (SSCO) has recently been developed. The goal of this study was to assess the impact of SSCO technology on several physiological and biomechanical variables during uphill power walking. Thirty male participants underwent an uphill power walking intervention at constant speed in two insoles conditions (control and SSCO). The electromyographic (EMG) activity of their right gastrocnemii and vastii muscles was measured. Perceived fatigue was assessed every 5 minutes and the intervention stopped when the targeted fatigue level was reached. Baseline and post-intervention assessments were also performed. Sixty-three percent of the participants experienced an improvement in foot fatigue while wearing the SSCO. The foot arch seemed to collapse less when participants wore the SSCO, but statistical significance was not reached. The changes in mean EMG activity was not consistent between the 50% isometric contraction and the walking trial. In conclusion, while some interesting trends were observed when wearing SSCO, further investigations should be performed to try and reach statistical significance.

Download or read book Pathomechanics of Common Foot Disorders written by Douglas H. Richie Jr and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-10-07 with total page 327 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This new book consolidates the current knowledge of lower extremity biomechanics and pathomechanics and makes this information relevant to the study of common foot and ankle pathologies. The content is presented in a language and format that allows the clinician to review current evidence explaining the etiology of these disorders in order to formulate effective treatment interventions. In order to understand pathomechanics, the clinician must also become versed in the normal, healthy biomechanics of the lower extremity. A review of gait, muscle function and forces acting on the lower extremities during physical activity will be the focus of the first part of this book. The second part of the book will study the common, challenging pathologies treated on a daily basis by foot and ankle clinicians: hallux abducto valgus, hallux rigidus, metatarsalgia, digital deformities, adult acquired flatfoot, and plantar heel pain. These chapters discuss all the relevant factors contributing to these conditions, evaluating and exposing myths and misconceptions about the pathomechanics and treatments of these conditions. For each disorder, a comprehensive review of published research provides a foundation for an updated, valid description of etiology and risk factors. Providing a fresh approach to lower extremity pathomechanics and management strategies, Pathomechanics of Common Foot Disorders is a valuable resource for podiatrists and orthopedic foot and ankle surgeons at all levels.
Download or read book The Inverted Orthotic Technique written by Richard Blake and published by Bookbaby. This book was released on 2019-10-14 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is meant for Podiatrist, Podiatric Medical Students, and health care providers interested in lower extremity biomechanics. The Inverted Orthotic Technique is a system of functional foot orthotic devices to be utilized in the correction of pronated feet, injuries requiring foot inversion to alleviate symptoms, and to help stabilize the mechanics of athletic endeavors like running and cycling. The book covers the selection process of the patients that would be appropriate to use the device, the manufacturing devices to be utilized, the follow up of patients and possible modifications to the devices for various reasons. The book also discusses injuries or pain patterns related to excessive pronation or excessive supination, short leg syndrome, poor shock absorption, and weak or tight muscles. The book breaks down the components of a good gait evaluation and aspects of the biomechanical examination especially important to the Inverted Orthotic Technique, like heel bisection and identifying equinus forces. The book discusses many biomechanical principles, but tries to maintain a practical approach to lower extremity biomechanics in a clinical setting.
