22
Q

ROM of PTTD

A
  1. limited DF
  2. Subtalar and transverse tarsal jts are mobile in early stages
  3. loss of motion, midfoot becomes fized in late stages
23
Q

MMT of PTTD

A

pf and inversion are still strong because of ant tib contribution

inability to perform a single leg heel rise, which is indicative of PTTD

24
Q

Stage 1 of PTTD

A

tendon synovitis
no foot deformity, no arch collapse

25
Q

Stage 2 PTTD

A

tendon pathology with or w/out synovitis
flat foot deformity
damage to spring lig and soft tissues
hypermobility

26
Q

Stage 3 of PTTD

A
  1. tendon pathology with or w/out synovitis
  2. damage to spring, deltoid ligaments and soft tissues of foot
  3. fixed deformity w/forefoot abd and hindfoot valgus
27
Q

Stage 4 PTTD

A
  1. tendon pathology with or without synovitis
  2. damage to spring, deltoid ligaments and soft tissues
  3. fixed deformity w/complete ankle valgus
28
Q

Modifications for PTTD

A

weight loss, improving footwear, decrease repetitive loading

orthoses to decrease pain as an early intervention, also use eccentric strengthening

goal in stage 2 is to support arch and decrease valgus

29
Q

Target muscles for Medial Long Arch for HV

A

hallux pf, abduction, increased M/L sway
less strength in abductor hallucis, FHB

30
Q

Greater Abductor Hallus EMG activity during

A

short foot > toe curl
single leg standing > sitting
toe spread out > short foot

31
Q

Activation of plantar intrinsic foot muscles increased as

A

task difficulty increased

32
Q

Enhancing Recruitment for abductor hallucis

A

highest force production occurs when 1st MTP joint is positioned between 10-15°of dorsiflexion

33
Q

Enhancing recruitment in intrinsics/extrinsics

A

ABDH, FHB, FDB more active during 1st MTP flexion without IP Flexion

FHL and FDL are greater with IP flexion

toe flexion is important for training of intrinsic muscles

34
Q

Short foot exercises is effective in reducing

A

foot pronation, foot pain, disability in subjects with pes planus

35
Q

Results of barefoot weight bearing study

A

significant increase in CSA of abductor hallucis

significant increase in force during paper grip test

significant improvement in repetition and height

improved strength, balance, fatigue, foot awareness, less pain. increased compliance

36
Q

Interventions in weightbearing with bare feet

A

weight bear without shoes
foot exercises bilaterally
short foot
trunk rotation with short foot
post tib
TSO

37
Q

Pre/Post Intervention Testing for WB in barefeet

A

plantar pressure in different functional mobility

paper grip test

heel rise

foot muscle structure

38
Q

Minimal shoe

A

no motion control
no cushioning
zero drop
no arch support
no midsole
no flares

39
Q

Minimal shoes vs Foot exercise

A

minimalist shoe walking is as effective as foot strengthening exercises in increasing foot muscle size and strength

either intervention provides sufficient stimulus to increase muscle strength significantly

40
Q

Conventional shoes vs Minimal Shoes

A

wearing minimal shoes for six months, even for non-intensive activities, may increase toe-flexion strength

41
Q

Minimalist shoes impact on plantar intrinsic foot muscle size and strength

A

wearing minimalist shoes resulted in increases in IFM size and strength

helpful because it is convenient and there isn’t a time burden

42
Q

Summary of foot exercise interventions

A
  1. short foot, toe spread both benefit HV, HR, PTTD
  2. Activity and force production of plantar intrinsic muscles is enhanced in standing versus sitting, more so in SLS
  3. arch and balance mechanisms will benefit from interventions
  4. barefoot or wearing minimalist shoes increase foot muscle strength
43
Q

Knee OA and minimal footwear

A

increases knee function, decreased pain, increased distance during 6 MWT, decreased knee edema

44
Q

Falls and minimal shoes

A

improves stability and mobility
movement of center of pressure
improves TUG and STAR tests

45
Q

Transitioning to Minimal Footwear

A
  1. Remove orthotics one hour/day and increase each day. add in orthotic towards end of day with fatigue
  2. go from high cushion and supportive shoe to low cushion and less support
  3. Shorter walks in minimal shoes, progress to long walks
  4. Try walking barefoot
46
Q

Women face ageism

A

make clothing choices to conceal or diminish physical markers that would identify them as old

not being able to wear desired footwear and clothing altered women’s body image, with negative impacts on psychological well-being

HV and HR significantly impact confidence, QOL, emotional status, social engagement

47
Q

Patient’s footwear

A

more than 70% was defined as being poor

only 5% pts wore their therapeutic footwear

majority selected shoes for fit and comfort

48
Q

Findings/Conclusions for Foot problems and footwear

A
  1. shoes narrower than foot are associated with corns, HV, foot pain
  2. Women wear shoes that are shorter, narrow, smaller vs men
  3. Short shoes are associated with lesser toe deformity
  4. Heel elevation > 25 mm was associated with HV and plantar calluses
49
Q

How to evaluate fit of shoe

A
  1. Length = 10 to 20 mm from longest toe to front of shoes
  2. Width = grasping of upper over metatarsal, should bunch
  3. Depth = toes/joints move freely, examine for pressure on toes and nails
  4. Motion control
50
Q

Motion of control of foot

A

fixation of upper to the foot
heel counter stiffness
longitudinal sole rigidity

51
Q

HV and Orthoses

A

low level of effectiveness
does improve pain when HV angle improves

52

A

morton’s extension if footplate doesn’t work

47% of cases were treated with orthoses

53
Q

Shoe mods for HR

A

low heels
stiff sole
rocker bottoms
metatarsal bars
increase in heigh of toe box

54
Q
