What Studies Reveal About Torsional Stiffness And Injury Risk In Athletes
05/29/2019
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...

How To Treat Turf Toe Injuries
09/03/2008
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...

Pertinent Considerations With Using The Ankle Joint Lunge Test To Assess Ankle Joint ROM
07/03/2018
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...

Is Hypermobility Limited To Just The First Ray?

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...

Does Heel Counter Stiffness Matter In Shoes?
05/02/2019
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,...

Neuromas And Metatarsalgia: Is Treatment the Same From A Biomechanical Perspective?
