Influence of Contouring and Hardness of Foot Orthoses on Ratings of Perceived Comfort

Does this appear to be contradictory to anyone else or am I just reading it wrong? It appears to say that a soft, flat generic orthosis was preferred. Does that sound like a "contoured" device?

I know that over the years nearly every patient that I have provided an orthosis made from a volumetric cast, which I assume is more "countoured", that patients report greater comfort than with previous prefab or generic shaped devices and that is subjective.

"Podiatric medicine" vs "podiatry"

I've noticed that some universities offer podiatric medicine and others offer podiatry. What is the differences between the tow programs ?

Is there any relationship between Iliotibial Band syndrome and MTSS? Is previous history of MTSS a risk factor for ITB syndrome?

Another bl....y outcome measure for the foot

Does anyone share my frustraton at the plethora of outcome tools that have been developed for the foot? When will it stop? When will people actually stop developing them and start doing research that actually uses them?

Why are so many gifted athletes pigeon-toed?

While there’s no real research clearly defining the relationship with being pigeon-toed and being a good athlete, there is quite a bit of anecdotal and indirect research evidence to support the notion. In fact, many coaches in sports like football, basketball, soccer and track actually look for pigeon-toed athletes to join their teams. This is because there seems to be a disproportionate number of fast athletes who are pigeon-toed.

"Foot and Ankle Injection Techniques" provides the student and practising podiatrist with all they need to understand when, how and what to inject.
