  2. Foot drop - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foot_drop

    A patient recovering from surgery to treat foot drop, with limited plantar and dorsiflexion.. Foot drop is a gait abnormality in which the dropping of the forefoot happens out of weakness, irritation or damage to the deep fibular nerve (deep peroneal), including the sciatic nerve, or paralysis of the muscles in the anterior portion of the lower leg.

  3. Ponseti method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ponseti_method

    Foot cavus increases when the forefoot is pronated. If cavus is present, the first step in the manipulation process is to supinate the forefoot by gently lifting the dropped first metatarsal to correct the cavus. Once the cavus is corrected, the forefoot can be abducted. Pronation of the foot also causes the calcaneus to jam under the talus.

    A drop foot orthosis is an AFO that only has one functional element for lifting the forefoot in order to compensate for a weakness in the dorsiflexors. [46] If other muscle groups, such as the plantar flexors, are weak, additional functional elements must be taken into account, making a drop foot orthosis unsuitable for patients with weakness ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charcot–Marie–Tooth...

    In most cases, ankle-foot orthoses that have functional elements for the foot lifting and adjustable control of the lowering of the forefoot make sense. Weak calf muscles lead to insufficient activation of the forefoot lever. This leads to an additional increasing uncertainty when standing and walking.

  7. Clubfoot - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clubfoot

    Ponseti describes the forefoot as pronated in relation to the hindfoot, so supinating the forefoot and elevating the first metatarsal improves this alignment. Subsequent casts are applied after stretching the foot with a focus on abducting the forefoot with lateral pressure at the talus , to bring the navicular laterally and improve the ...
