This article provides a succinct but comprehensive review of the history of the American Academy of Podiatric Sports Medicine. Three time periods are described: the pre-academy era, the early years of podiatric sports medicine leading up to the academy's founding, and the academy's founding and the 1970s. An appreciation of the academy's past facilitates understanding of its present state and future direction.

Department of Podiatry, University of Seville, 41009 Seville, Spain.
Infrared thermography is an advanced technique that detects infrared light emitted by the body to map thermal changes related to blood flow. It is recognized for being noninvasive, fast, and reliable and is employed in the diagnosis and prevention of various medical conditions. In podiatry, it is utilized for managing diabetic foot ulcers, musculoskeletal injuries such as Achilles tendinopathy, and onychomycosis, among others.

Background: Although supervised exercise therapy (SET) is a primary treatment for peripheral artery disease (PAD), the current literature is limited regarding the mechanisms contributing to increased walking distances, including how lower extremity muscle function is altered after SET. This study aimed to investigate the effects of SET on lower extremity muscle function during walking in patients with PAD.
Methods: Twelve patients with PAD participated in a 6-month SET program consisting of three weekly exercise sessions (a total of 72 sessions) and adhered to the American College of Sports Medicine's (ACSM) recommendations.

J Foot Ankle Res
September 2024
School of Life Sciences & Medicine, King's College London, London, UK.
Background: Access to clinical services for children with foot and ankle problems are important, but unravelling the complexity of practice and service delivery can be challenging. The pursuit and implementation of research evidence is critical for driving positive change in practice, but little is understood about the approaches to knowledge and research acquisition in children foot health.
Aim: The aim of the study was to: (1) explore multi-professional habits of knowledge and research evidence acquisition in children's foot health; and (2) understand how clinicians integrate information for children and their families into their practice.
