Reliability of ultrasound to measure morphology of the toe flexor muscles
BACKGROUND Measuring the strength of individual foot muscles is very challenging; however, measuring muscle morphology has been shown to be associated with strength. A reliable method of assessing foot muscle atrophy and hypertrophy would therefore be beneficial to researchers and clinicians. Thus, the aim of this study was to evaluate the test-retest intra-observer reliability of ultrasound to...
متن کاملOutpatient percutaneous flexor tenotomies for management of diabetic claw toe deformities with ulcers: a preliminary report.
OBJECTIVE To retrospectively review the outcomes of percutaneous flexor tenotomies of diabetic claw toes with ulcers or pending ulcers. METHODS We undertook a retrospective chart review between January 1999 and June 2005 to identify those patients who had undergone a percutaneous flexor tenotomy for diabetic claw toe deformities. We identified 34 toes in 14 patients. Of these, 24 toes had ulc...
متن کاملGait, balance and plantar pressures in older people with toe deformities.
Older people with toe deformities have been identified as having an increased risk of falling. Little is known, however, about the biomechanical changes that might contribute to this increased risk. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to determine whether older people with hallux valgus and lesser toe deformities displayed different gait, balance and plantar pressure characteristics compar...
متن کاملThe pathology and management of lesser toe deformities
Deformities of the lesser toes are common and can be associated with significant morbidity. These deformities are often multiple, and numerous treatment strategies have been described in the literature.The goal of surgical treatment is to improve symptoms by restoring alignment and function, and avoiding recurrence. In order to achieve this, it is essential for the treating surgeon to understan...
متن کاملSize of the abductor hallucis muscle in older women with hallux valgus
Toe deformities are highly prevalent in older people with up to 74% of older men and women having some degree of hallux valgus [1]. Despite the well documented hypotheses that atrophied, or weak toe flexor muscles are associated with the formation of toe deformities [2], there has been little evidence to support this theory. Only one study has directly compared the toe flexor strength of indivi...
