Objective: The purpose of this article is to describe a protocol to examine the feasibility of combining podiatric orthotic treatment with multimodal chiropractic treatment to treat chronic low back pain (CLBP) in those with a functional short leg on the same side as a unilateral pronated foot.
Methods: This is a protocol for a multicenter feasibility 2-arm parallel randomized controlled trial. One hundred and thirty-two adults with CLBP and a functional short leg on the same side as a unilateral pronated foot are to be recruited in Melbourne, Australia, and Madrid and Seville, Spain. Forty-four participants at each site are to be randomized to multimodal chiropractic treatment including spinal manipulation or to multimodal chiropractic treatment also involving spinal manipulation, together with podiatric custom-made orthoses. Chiropractic visits are to comprise 12 treatments over 4 weeks. Outcome measures will be recruitment, compliance, costs, CLBP-related disability, and perceived low back pain.
Results: Feasibility results will be reported in text format and the clinical data reported using descriptive statistics focusing on any clinically significant results.
Conclusion: This protocol describes a feasibility study for assessing the combination of podiatric orthotic treatment with multimodal chiropractic treatment to treat CLBP in those with a functional short leg on the same side as a unilateral pronated foot.

The unilateral anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction can create asymmetry in vertical ground reaction force and muscle activities, which could be amplified by pronated feet. The study compared plantar pressure variables, amplitude, and muscular frequency in individuals with pronated feet and anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (PF/ACLR) versus control during running. As part of a cross-sectional study, 15 individuals with PF/ACLR (aged 23.

Background: Varus thrust (VT) is a frequently reported abnormal gait pattern in patients with medial knee osteoarthritis (KOA). VT is important to prevent KOA progression. However, there is no consensus on the relationship between VT and foot alignment and flexibility, although it has been reported that patients with KOA have pronated foot.

Article Synopsis
- The study analyzed the outcomes of exostosis resection and ulna lengthening surgery for children with hereditary multiple exostosis, focusing on the optimal timing for intervention.
- A total of 35 patients were reviewed, with improvements seen in forearm and elbow functions, particularly in those with radial head dislocation who had surgery at a younger age.
- The findings suggest that early surgery yields better results for patients with radial head dislocation, while those without it should be monitored and considered for surgery after age 10.

Article Synopsis
- - The study investigated how hip strength affects running mechanics in 21 elite middle-distance male runners to understand the connection between hip strength deficits and potential injuries.
- - Using high-speed cameras, researchers found that the dominant leg displayed better pelvic stability and less knee adduction when running compared to the non-dominant leg, indicating that hip strength might play a crucial role in running form.
- - Strong positive correlations were found between hip strength measures, particularly in the dominant leg, and improved running mechanics, suggesting that greater hip strength may lead to better running kinematics and potentially lower injury risk.
