Adam Garrow, A C Papageorgiou, Alan J. Silman, Elaine Thomas, M I Jayson, Gary J. Macfarlane
This article describes a new, noninvasive method of assessing the severity of hallux valgus deformity by means of a set of standardized photographs. Six podiatrists were independently asked to grade the level of deformity of 13 subjects (26 feet) on a scale of 1 (no deformity) to 4 (severe deformity). The reliability of the four-point scale for the severity of hallux valgus was investigate...... hiện toàn bộ
Navicular drop as a composite measure of excessive pronation Tập 83 Số 4 - Trang 198-202 - 1993
Michael J. Mueller, James V. Host, Barbara J. Norton
The measure of navicular drop has been used as an indicator of pronation at the foot. It is defined as the distance the navicular tuberosity moves in standing, as the subtalar joint is allowed to move from its neutral position to a relaxed position. The purposes of this study were to test the reliability of a method to measure navicular drop and to assess the relationships among measures o...... hiện toàn bộ

Biomechanical Risk Factors Associated with Neuropathic Ulceration of the Hallux in People with Diabetes Mellitus Tập 96 Số 3 - Trang 189-197 - 2006
Vanessa L Nubé, Lynda Molyneaux, Dennis K. Yue
In this study of people with diabetes mellitus and peripheral neuropathy, it was found that the feet of patients with a history of hallux ulceration were more pronated and less able to complete a single-leg heel rise compared with the feet of patients with a history of ulceration elsewhere on the foot. The range of active first metatarsophalangeal joint dorsiflexion was found to be signifi...... hiện toàn bộ
