Accurate measurement of the foot contact area is crucial for diagnosing pes planus (flatfoot) and pes cavus (high arch), which significantly affect pressure distribution across the plantar surface. This study aimed to develop a program using ChatGPT-4 to automate foot contact area measurements using a podoscope, thereby enhancing diagnostic precision. A 53-year-old female volunteer stood on a podoscope to capture images of her feet, which were processed to isolate the foot contours and measure the contact areas.

Background: Renal disease is associated with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT), a common inherited neurological disorder. Three forms of CMT have been identified: CMT1 of the demyelinating type, CMT2 of the axonal defect type, and intermediate type (Int-CMT). INF2 is an important target for variants that cause the complex symptoms of focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) and CMT.

Background: Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease is a spectrum of inherited disorders characterized by both motor and sensory manifestations, which include prominent distal muscle weakness, foot deformities (pes cavus and hammer toes), and sensory deficits. Postural tremor as a manifestation of Charcot-Marie-Tooth is seldom present, except in a variant of Charcot-Marie-Tooth subtype 1 (Roussy-Levy syndrome), and its presence often results in a diagnostic dilemma.
Case Presentation: We present a 34-year-old Eritrean man who came to our hospital with a complaint of tremors of the hands of 6 months duration.

Department of Neuroscience, IRCCS Stella Maris Foundation, 56128 Pisa, Italy.
Background: Autosomal recessive inherited pathogenetic variants in the histidine triad nucleotide-binding protein 1 () gene are responsible for an axonal Charcot-Marie-Tooth neuropathy associated with neuromyotonia, a phenomenon resulting from peripheral nerve hyperexcitability that causes a spontaneous muscle activity such as persistent muscle contraction, impaired relaxation and myokymias.
Methods: Herein, we describe two brothers in whom biallelic variants were identified following a multidisciplinary approach.
Results: The younger brother came to our attention for clinical evaluation of moderate intellectual disability, language developmental delay, and some behavioral issues.

Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT) is a hereditary peripheral neuropathy involving approximately 80 pathogenic genes. Whole-exome sequencing (WES) and confirmatory Sanger sequencing analysis was applied to identify the disease-causing mutations in a Chinese patient with lower limb weakness. We present an 18-year-old male with a 2.

Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, Los Angeles, CA, USA.
Background: Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) disease is a progressive inherited neurologic disorder causing muscle weakness and lower extremity deformity. The goal of foot and ankle surgical treatment is to create a stable, plantigrade foot, with the potential elimination of brace-wear for ambulation. The aim of this study was to report baseline CMT patient function and subsequent outcome improvement from surgical treatment, as determined by PROMIS physical function (PF), pain interference (PI), and mental health/depression (D) scores.

This case report presents a novel cause of rigid flatfoot caused by the entrapment of the Flexor Hallucis Longus (FHL) tendon within the subtalar joint. A 19-year-old male with chronic right ankle and foot pain diagnosed with rigid flatfoot deformity. MRI identified the FHL tendon entrapped within the subtalar joint, a condition to our knowledge never previously reported.

Background And Aims: Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) is a heterogeneous group of genetic neuropathies and is typically characterized by distal muscle weakness, sensory loss, pes cavus and areflexia. Herein we describe a case of CMT2CC presenting with proximal muscle weakness and equivocal electrophysiological features, that was misdiagnosed as chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP).
Case Report: A 30-year-old woman complained of proximal muscle weakness with difficulty climbing stairs.

Background: Multi-segment foot models have been used to quantify foot kinematics during walking. However, walking kinematics is not sufficient to assess hindfoot flexibility (available range of hindfoot varus-valgus motion). The modified Shriners Hospitals for Children - Greenville (mSHCG) foot model has been used to quantify hindfoot flexibility with Coleman block test (peak hindfoot valgus) and Root test (peak hindfoot varus).

Pes planus, commonly referred to as flatfoot, is a congenital foot deformity characterized by the descent of the medial longitudinal arch, resulting in reduced spring action and increased stress on the foot during ambulation. This condition, opposite to pes cavus, typically lacks symptomatic presentation despite its structural abnormality. This case report discusses a 20-year-old female presenting to the musculoskeletal department of physiotherapy with impaired gait attributed to developmental flatfeet and an underdeveloped heel on one foot since birth.

Congenital deformities of the foot significantly challenge the mobility and quality of life of affected individuals. While surgical interventions are common, rehabilitation protocols tailored to address the specific needs of adults with congenital foot deformities are less explored. This case series aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a specialized foot rehabilitation protocol in improving functional outcomes and quality of life in adults with congenital foot deformities.
