8 Yoga Poses to Help Treat Plantar Fasciitis
Plantar fasciitis is a painful condition that occurs when the thick band of tissue in the bottom of your foot—called the plantar fascia—becomes inflamed. This condition typically causes sharp pain on your heel at the base of your arch, especially when you put weight on your foot.
How to Wrap a Sprained Ankle
Ankle sprains occur when the ligaments that connect bone to bone are stretched too far, causing inflammation and sometimes tears. These injuries most commonly affect the ligaments on the outside of the ankle when a person's foot rolls too far inward.1 This injury is called a "lateral ankle sprain." This can happen while walking on uneven surfaces, stepping off a curb, playing sports, or during a fall.
PRP injections with high platelet concentrations may improve outcomes for knee OA
Published results showed platelet concentration may impact clinical outcomes for patients who receive platelet-rich plasma injections for knee osteoarthritis, as injections with higher platelet counts were associated with superior outcomes.
Revolutionizing bone defect healing: the power of mesenchymal stem cells as seeds
Bone defects can arise from trauma or pathological factors, resulting in compromised bone integrity and the loss or absence of bone tissue. As we are all aware, repairing bone defects is a core problem in bone tissue engineering. While minor bone defects can self-repair if the periosteum remains intact and normal osteogenesis occurs, significant defects or conditions such as congenital osteogenesis imperfecta present substantial challenges to self-healing. As research on mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) advances, new fields of application have emerged; however, their application in orthopedics remains one of the most established and clinically valuable directions.
Wearable Technology Applications and Methods to Assess Clinical Outcomes in Foot and Ankle Disorders: Achievements and Perspectives
Foot and ankle disorders are a very common diseases, represent a risk factor for falls in older people, and are associated with difficulty performing activities of daily living. With an increasing demand for cost-effective and high-quality clinical services, wearable technology can be strategic in extending our reach to patients with foot and ankle disorders
