Calcaneal pitch is an angle of the calcaneus and the inferior aspect of the foot, with different sources giving different reference points. The first line making up the angle is defined as either:
Flat feet, also called pes planus or fallen arches, is a postural deformity in which the arches of the foot collapse, with the entire sole of the foot coming into complete or near-complete contact with the ground. Sometimes children are born with flat feet (congenital).
Subtalar arthroereisis is a common treatment for symptomatic pes planus, also known as flatfoot. There are two forms of pes planus: rigid flatfoot (RFF) and flexible flatfoot (FFF). The symptoms of the former typically necessitate surgical intervention. [1] The latter may manifest fatigue or pain, but is typically asymptomatic. [1]
The Hubscher maneuver (or Jack's test) is a method of evaluating the flexibility of a pes planus or flat foot type. The test is performed with the patient weight bearing, with the foot flat on the ground, while the clinician dorsiflexes the hallux and watches for an increasing concavity of the Arches of the foot.
[10] [11] Other features that have been identified in patients with ischiopatellar dysplasia include foot anomalies, [12] specifically flat feet (pes planus), syndactylism of the toes, [13] short fourth and fifth toes, and a large gap between the first and second toes, [14] [15] femur anomalies, [16] cleft palate, [17] and craniofacial ...
Recently, progress on inflation appeared to be stuck or, at worst, reversing: A closely watched gauge of underlying price hikes — an index that excludes highly volatile categories — hadn’t ...
Its measurement technology uses atomic force microscopy to measure silicon wafers, which allows it to operate at dimensions smaller than most wavelengths of light.
Pes cavus, also known as high arch, is an orthopedic condition that presents as a hollow arch underneath the foot with a pronounced high ridge at the top when weight bearing. This foot type is typically characterized with cavus—the elevation of the longitudinal plantar arch (e.g., the bottom arch of a foot), plantar flexion of the foot ...
