An orthosis developed in Dokuz Eylul University (DEU) at the School of Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation, Department of Orthotics and Prostheticsis is described. It is applied as a non-invasive device attached to the distal ring of the Ilizarov external fixator to keep the ankle joint in a neutral position and prevent ankle equinus during tibial lengthening with Ilizarov technique. This minimises additional invasive techniques such as heel cord release and prophylactic pinning of the heel and the foot, and manipulation under anaesthesia. It may also be detached by the physiotherapist or patient when physical therapy is needed during the lengthening procedure.

This article, the final in this series, describes taping techniques for common lower limb problems. Taping can be used to correct abnormal biomechanics (e.g. patellofemoral pain), prevent recurrent injury (e.g. ankle taping for instability), offload the injured tissue (e.g. acute ankle sprain) or provide proprioception awareness (e.g. Achilles tendonitis).

Achilles tendon ruptures are best managed acutely. Neglected Achilles tendon ruptures are debilitating injuries and the increased complexity of the situation must be appreciated. Surgical management is recommended, and only in the poorest surgical candidate is conservative treatment entertained. Numerous treatment algorithms and surgical techniques have been described. A V-Y advancement flap and flexor halluces longus tendon transfer have been found to be reliable and achieve good clinical outcomes for defects ranging from 2 cm to 8 cm. This article focuses on the treatment options for the neglected Achilles tendon rupture. Copyright A 2012 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to conduct a systematic review on manipulative therapy for lower extremity conditions and expand on a previously published literature review. METHODS: The Scientific Commission of the Council on Chiropractic Guidelines and Practice Parameters (CCGPP) was charged with developing literature syntheses, organized by anatomical region, to evaluate and report on the evidence base for chiropractic care. This article is the outcome of this charge. As part of the CCGPP process, preliminary drafts of these articles were posted on the CCGPP Web site (2006-8) to allow for an open process and the broadest possible mechanism for stakeholder input. The Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature; PubMed; Manual, Alternative, and Natural Therapy Index System; Science Direct; and Index to Chiropractic Literature were searched from December 2006 to February 2008. Search terms included chiropractic, osteopathic, orthopedic, or physical therapy and MeSH terms for each region. Inclusion criteria required a diagnosis and manipulative therapy (mobilization and manipulation grades I-V) with or without adjunctive care. Exclusion criteria were pain referred from spinal sites (without diagnosis), referral for surgery, and conditions contraindicated for manipulative therapy. Clinical trials were assessed using a modified Scottish Intercollegiate Guidelines Network ranking system. RESULTS: Of the total 389 citations captured, 39 were determined to be relevant. There is a level of C or limited evidence for manipulative therapy combined with multimodal or exercise therapy for hip osteoarthritis. There is a level of B or fair evidence for manipulative therapy of the knee and/or full kinetic chain, and of the ankle and/or foot, combined with multimodal or exercise therapy for knee osteoarthritis, patellofemoral pain syndrome, and ankle inversion sprain. There is also a level of C or limited evidence for manipulative therapy of the ankle and/or foot combined with multimodal or exercise therapy for plantar fasciitis, metatarsalgia, and hallux limitus/rigidus. There is also a level of I or insufficient evidence for manipulative therapy of the ankle and/or foot combined with multimodal or exercise therapy for hallux abducto valgus. CONCLUSIONS: There are a growing number of peer-reviewed studies of manipulative therapy for lower extremity disorders.

Background:; Various factors are considered influential in the development of pes cavus. Short tendo-Achilles is one factor that has been hypothesised as a deforming mechanism of 'idiopathic' pes cavus.; Objective:; To measure tendo-Achilles length in subjects with idiopathic pes cavus, compared to normal and pes planus feet, and to examine the relationship between tendo-Achilles length and foot type.; Method:; Fifty-three healthy volunteers (34 female, 19 male) were recruited to encompass a wide range of foot types, varying in degree of cavoid, normal and planus features. Foot type was measured weight bearing using the Foot Posture Index (FPI). The length of the tendo-Achilles was also measured weight bearing using the lunge test.; Results:; Twenty-four subjects with pes cavus, 24 subjects with a normal foot type and five subjects with pes planus completed the study. Lunge angle in the pes cavus group was significantly less than the normal and pes planus groups (P < 0.001). A strong, positive correlation was identified between tendo-Achilles length and foot type (r = 0.757, P < 0.001; r2] = 57.3%).; Conclusion:; Distinct differences exist in tendo-Achilles length in individuals with a pes cavus foot type, compared to normal and pes planus feet. A strong positive relationship between tendo-Achilles shortness and pes cavus severity has been identified.

BACKGROUND: Heel cord lengthening is a common component of foot and ankle surgery. If the tendon is anatomically or functionally over lengthened patients may develop plantarflexion weakness and heel overload problems such as symptomatic plantar heel callosities and heel ulceration. METHODS: Nine patients who developed heel overload or heel ulcer after a heel cord lengthening or an irreparable rupture were identified. Initial foot injury, risk factors, treatment, and followup were reviewed. RESULTS: Five of the nine patients had diabetes and an insensate heel. The ulcer healed in two of five patients with a dorsiflexion stop brace, two with a tendon transfer, and one required a below knee amputation. There were four patients with heel overload with normal sensation and no diabetes. One improved with strengthening exercises, two with tendon transfer, and one required a below knee amputation. CONCLUSIONS: Heel cord insufficiency can lead to an overload callus or a heel ulcer. Patients with diabetes and an insensate heel are at highest risk, but this problem also can occur in patients with normal sensation. Obesity and ipsilateral first toe amputation also may be risk factors.

Objective The study examined whether the addition of a night splint to eccentric exercises is beneficial for functional outcome in chronic midportion Achilles tendinopathy. Design One-year follow-up of a randomised controlled single blinded clinical trial. Setting Sports medicine department in a general hospital. Patients 58 patients (70 tendons) were included. Interventions All patients completed a 12-week heavy load eccentric training programme. One group received a night splint in addition to eccentric exercises. Main outcome measurements Outcome scores were: Victorian Institute of Sport Assessment-Achilles (VISAA) score, subjective patient satisfaction and neovascularisation score measured with power Doppler ultrasonography (PDU). Results For both groups the VISA-A score increased significantly (from 50 to 76 (p ................
