In the last couple of blogs, we have talked about the mechanics of shoes. More recently, I have discussed shoe flexion and heel counter stiffness in relation to their ability to control or alter foot mechanics, and whether they have any...

Turf toe is primarily considered a sprain of the first metatarsophalangeal joint (MPJ). The mechanism of turf toe injuries is a hyperextension of the first MPJ, which results in a sprain of the plantar joint capsule or a potential tear or...

Ankle dorsiflexion range of motion is vitally important to the normal function of the foot and ankle in gait. I previously discussed the importance of ankle joint dorsiflexion range of motion (ROM) to the proper function of the peroneals and...

In my last two blog posts, I discussed twisted plate orthotics. This is an orthotic theory and technique that surprisingly few podiatrists seem to use or be aware of. The primary reason I use a twisted plate orthosis is to address dorsal...

This month, I want to discuss the heel counter stiffness test, look at some of the literature that is out there and what it says about whether heel counter stiffness really makes a difference in controlling foot function in a shoe. In 1992,...
