The Foot Posture Index (FPI) is a validated method for quantifying standing foot posture, and being used in variety of clinical settings. There have however, been no normative data available to date comparison reference. This study aimed establish FPI reference values.Studies reporting were identified by searching online databases. Nine authors contributed anonymised versions their original datasets comprising 1648 individual observations. included information relating centre, age, gender,...
The aim of this study was to estimate the 90-day risk revision for periprosthetic femoral fracture associated with design features cementless stems, and investigate effect a collar on using biomechanical in vitro model.A total 337 647 primary hip arthroplasties (THAs) from United Kingdom National Joint Registry (NJR) were included multivariable survival regression analysis identify adjusted hazard following THA stem. evaluated an model paired fresh frozen cadaveric femora.The prevalence...
The aim of this study was to produce clinical consensus recommendations about the non-surgical treatment children with Perthes' disease. are intended support practice in a condition for which there is no robust evidence guide optimal care.
Abnormal foot morphology has been suggested to contribute overuse injuries in athletes. This study investigated the relationship between type and injury incidence a large sample of competitive triathletes not wearing orthoses during 6-month retrospective analysis 10-week prospective cohort study. Foot alignment was measured using Posture Index Valgus Index, participants were assigned supinated, pronated, normal foot-type groups. Overall, 131 sustained 155 Generally, major risk factor for...
Foot orthoses have been demonstrated to be effective in the management of a range conditions, but there is debate as benefits customised foot over less expensive, prefabricated devices.In randomised, cross-over trial, 15 flat-footed participants aged between 18 and 45 years were provided with semi-rigid, contoured, orthoses. Pressures forces measured using an in-shoe system subjects wearing shoes alone, orthoses, again when contoured Two weeks acclimatisation was included therapy. Repeated...
The results of hip and knee replacement surgery are generally regarded as positive for patients. Nonetheless, they both major operations have recognised complications. We present a review relevant claims made to the National Health Service Litigation Authority. Between 1995 2010 there were 1004 value £41.5 million following 523 £21 replacement. most common complaint after was related residual neurological deficit, whereas it infection. Vascular complications resulted in highest costs per...
To develop a new foot impact scale to assess status in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) using established qualitative methodology and the latest item response techniques (Rasch analysis).Foot problems RA were explored by conducting interviews that then used generate items for scale. Further validation was undertaken following postal surveys Rasch analysis.Analysis of first survey (n = 192 responses) produced 63-item binary response, 4-subscale instrument. The 4 subscales covered domains impairment,...
Objectives Etanercept has been shown to be rapidly effective in suppressing disease activity ankylosing spondylitis (AS). The aim of this study was determine whether etanercept improves work instability as measured by the Ankylosing Spondylitis Work Instability Scale (AS-WIS). Method Forty patients with active AS who were but unstable recruited. Patients randomised receive 25 mg or placebo twice weekly for 12 weeks. primary outcome change AS-WIS at week 12. is a patient-derived measure which...
This randomised feasibility study aimed to examine the clinical and biomechanical effects of functional foot orthoses (FFOs) in treatment midfoot osteoarthritis (OA) conducting a full controlled trial. Participants with painful, radiographically confirmed OA were recruited receive either FFOs or sham control orthosis. Feasibility measures included recruitment attrition rates, practicality blinding adherence rates. Clinical outcome were: change from baseline 12 weeks for severity pain...
Background Falls are a serious cause of morbidity and cost to individuals society. Evidence suggests that foot problems inappropriate footwear may increase the risk falling. Podiatric interventions could help reduce falls; however, there is limited evidence regarding their clinical effectiveness cost-effectiveness. Objectives To determine cost-effectiveness multifaceted podiatry intervention for preventing falls in community-dwelling older people at falling, relative usual care. Design A...
Aseptic loosening and osteolysis continue to be a short- mid-term problem for total ankle replacement (TAR) devices. The production of wear particles may contribute poor performance, but their characteristics are not well understood. This study aimed determine the chemical composition, size morphology surrounding failed TARs. A recently developed particle isolation method capable isolating both high- low-density materials was applied 20 retrieved periprosthetic tissue samples from 15 TARs...
To explore, from patients' perspectives, the symptoms and impact of Raynaud's phenomenon (RP) on feet patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc-RP), to identify which foot-related domains are important patients.
Abstract Background Midfoot pain is common but poorly understood, with radiographs often indicating no anomalies. This study aimed to describe bone, joint and soft tissue changes explore associations between MRI‐detected abnormalities clinical symptoms (pain disability) in a group of adults midfoot pain, who were radiographically negative for osteoarthritis. Methods Community‐based participants underwent an MRI scan one foot scored semi‐quantitatively using the Foot OsteoArthritis Score...
Abstract Objectives Peripheral sensory neuropathy (PSN) is an under-recognized feature in SSc. Moreover, SSc foot involvement frequent but poorly investigated. We aimed to provide a detailed characterization of PSN large cohort patients, describing its associations with disease-specific features, physical disability and quality life (QoL). Methods patients healthy controls (HCs) comparable for age gender were enrolled cross-sectional observational case-control study. All subjects underwent...
The foot and ankle are frequently affected in rheumatic musculoskeletal diseases (RMDs), yet there is a lack of high-quality evidence to determine the effectiveness treatments. Outcomes research often inconsistently measured, impeding synthesis. Additionally, clinical decisions based on outcomes, but these not always regarded as important by people with RMDs. This study aimed domains importance RMDs who have experienced disorders, aid developing standardised core outcome set (COS) address...
Abstract Objectives To validate reliability of slice-encoding for metal artifact correction (SEMAC) sequences in identifying prosthesis loosening patients with painful knee arthroplasties (KAs) by comparing SEMAC-magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings to surgical outcomes—the gold standard. Materials and Methods We prospectively followed 44 KA possible aseptic at our tertiary care institution from 2011 2017. Potential cases infective were excluded making ours a selective study population....
