"Antero-medial load shift" in unilateral plantar heel pain - A cross-sectional exploratory study.

Background And Purpose: Plantar foot pressure provides an insightful data in the ankle and foot complex which may aid in the detection of underlying pathology. Since individuals with unilateral plantar heel pain (PHP) tend to develop compensatory loading strategies, this study aimed to observe the foot loading pattern compared to the asymptomatic side and its relationship with the morphological variations in individuals with unilateral PHP.

Methods: It was a prospective cross-sectional study done on 17 participants with unilateral PHP.

Report of a Case of Cold Urticaria Following Cryotherapy - Need for Screening for Untoward Effects of Cryotherapy in Physical Therapy Clinical Practice.

Introduction: Musculoskeletal rehabilitation is one of the frontline domains in physical therapy practice. In most countries, physical therapists prefer independent practice with referrals from general practitioners and orthopedic surgeons. Under these circumstances, the physical therapist may be the first contact professional handling these individuals who may not have adequate medical records with their personal medical history.

Progression to ambulation following lower limb fractures in an individual with a spinal cord injury: a case report.

Introduction: Patients with spinal cord injury (SCI) and concomitant lower limb fractures are a challenge to rehabilitate. Conventionally, postural orientation is an important milestone in the rehabilitative process. We propose an alternative strategy in achieving goals in individuals with an SCI with concomitant injuries that preclude weight bearing below the knee.
