A good knowledge of the anatomy of the foot is indispensable in order to orient the diagnosis. The clinical examination of the foot need to be done in a static (sitting and lying) as well as in a dynamic (walking and running). The foot is divided in three regions : rear-foot, mid-foot and fore-foot. The pathologies that are developed (rear-foot and fore-foot) are the ones that are most frequently seen during the consultation. They are described taking into account their aetiology, the clinical aspects, the imaging and the treatment.

Background: It is widely reported that the weight distribution in each foot is approximately 60% in the rearfoot and 40% in the forefoot. For balance training, it is recommended to transfer some weight to the forefoot. However, it is still unclear whether fore-rear foot weightbearing ratio affects balance and plantar pressure parameters.

Objectives: The prevalence of myofascial pain syndrome varies from 21% 93%. Several studies have shown that myofascial induction is effective in treating myofascial pain syndrome. Although these techniques have shown some effectiveness in clinical practice, there have been little study into their effects, and have deep effects.

Two-dimensional running analyses are common in research and practice, and have been shown to be reliable when conducted on a treadmill. However, running is typically performed outdoors. Our aim was to determine the intra- and inter-rater reliability of two-dimensional analyses of overground running in an outdoor environment.

December 2018
Institute of Biomechanics and Orthopaedics, German Sport University Cologne, Am Sportpark Müngersdorf 6, 50933 Cologne, Germany.
Objectives: This study investigated the relation of different previously reported preparatory strategies and musculo-skeletal loading during fast preplanned 90° cutting maneuvers (CM). The aim was to increase the understanding of the connection between whole body orientation, preparatory actions and the solution strategy to fulfil the requirements of a CM.
Methods: Three consecutive steps of anticipated 90° CMs were investigated in a 3D movement analysis setup.
