The effectiveness of orthotics in reducing hallux valgus angle for patients with mild and moderate hallux valgus
Hallux valgus (HV) is the most common forefoot deformity among females and its prevalence increases with age. There is a lack of information available on the effectiveness of orthotics in clinical practice and there is very limited data published of previous studies on the reduction of hallux …

Predictors of Hallux Valgus: a study of heritability
Hallux valgus is a complex progressive foot deformity of uncertan aetiology. The disorder is characterised by a lateral deviation of the hallux at the first metatarsophalangeal joint; an angle 150 is considered as clinical hallux valgus. A niodel that predicts first metatarsophalangeal joint angle …

Nuevo tratamiento percutáneo para la corrección quirúrgica del hallux valgus.
… que pueden aplicarse al tratamiento del Hallux Valgus (HV) y el criterio de selección será tomado en base a la evolución de la deformidad, edad del paciente y calidad del hueso, entre otros. Cuando se habla de corrección quirúrgica del HV, comúnmente pensamos en una técnica quirúrgica que …

Do the gluteal muscles influence dynamic knee valgus when single-leg landing?
Background: The presence of dynamic knee valgus on landing has been found to be a significant risk factor in the development non-contact anterior cruciate ligament ACL injury. Gluteal muscles especially gluteus maximus and medius are believed to have a role in controlling hip motion that is …

Finite element analysis of pin positioning in Lapidus procedure for treating Hallux Valgus
… in Lapidus procedure in the treatment of Hallux Valgus. Various parameters are considered for analysis like diameter of the pin, positioning of the pin from the fracture site, number of pins effecting the stability of the fixation device and fusion site, rail distance from the fusion site, effect …

Could a Foot Pressure Platform Replace X-ray to Diagnose Hallux Valgus Deformity?
<b>Background</b>: Hallux Valgus (HV) is the most common deformity of the foot. Currently the ‘gold standard’ in diagnosing HV is by X-ray. It has been shown that carcinogenic effects may be associated with the frequent use of diagnostic X-rays. A wide range of foot pressure platforms exist for …

The Effectiveness of Physiotherapy at a Patient with Knee Valgus and Low Back Pain
… has significant effects on lower back pain. Knee valgus has been indicated in past studies to have a negative effect on muscle strength, especially in the pelvico-lumbo-hip complex (PLHC). Understanding the level to which it affects these muscles is important since it enables the therapist to …

Influence of physical training on knee valgus motion and physical performance abilities among adole[s]cent female basketball players
… and strength training) would decrease valgus motion at the knee joint upon impact of a jump landing task. In addition, another aim of the investigation was to determine if the training routine would enhance physical performance factors associated with specific basketball skills (e.g., …

Biomechanical Study of Jumping & Landing Techniques: Ballet vs Non-ballet Athletes
… leg axis alignment known as the dynamic knee valgus angle presented during a vertical drop jump [8, 14, 15]. Hewett et. al. concluded that a knee valgus angle was a primary predictor of the mechanism that leads to an ACL rupture [8]. By increasing the excessive knee valgus angle during a …

The effect of change of direction angle on kneeand hip biomechanics : implications foranterior cruciate ligament injury
… occur without contact. Changes in the knee valgus (abduction) angle and knee valgus (external abduction) moment and limb asymmetry have been linked to greater risk of ACLinjury. Change of direction (COD) manoeuvres are important for many field sports, however they are unfortunately …

The Influence of Frontal and Axial Plane Deformities on Contact Mechanics during Squatting: A Finite Element Study
… the outputs under frontal malalignment (valgus 8° to varus 8°) and axial malalignment (miserable malalignment 30°). As a result, Varus-aligned and miserable aligned models increased medial tibiofemoral force and lateral patellar contact pressures, while the valgus-aligned model increased …

Finite element analysis of total knee replacement considering gait cycle load and malalignment
… smaller diameter was found to be the best. Varus/valgus malalignment redistributed the tibio-femoral contact force and stress/strain distribution in the distal femur. The difference between contact forces on the medial and lateral condyle decreased in the valgus malalignment condition. Contact …
