“…This is greater than the 17.9% of participants from the general population in the NWAHS [27], and exceeds the 30.4% and 30.9% of people who recorded foot pain in Danish and US general population studies respectively [29,30]. This supports the association of flexible pes planus with painful lower limb conditions [3][4][5][6].…”

A clinical records audit of the University of South Australia's podiatry clinic clients attending in 2010 was undertaken to determine prevalence of symptomatic flexible pes planus, presenting reasons and treatment options most frequently used. Analysis of rearfoot measures (resting calcaneal stance position, subtalar joint range of motion) between those prescribed a vertical (heel) or inverted (heel) cast pour and a medial heel (Kirby) skive was undertaken. Of 223 clinical records audited, 50% (111/223) of clients were assessed with flexible pes planus, 77% (86/111) of clients with pes planus presented with back or lower limb pain and 58% (64/111) were prescribed customised foot orthoses. Of 42 prescriptions for customised foot orthoses audited; 64% (27/42) were prescribed a vertical (heel) cast pour, 36% (15/42) an inverted (heel) cast pour and 19% (8/42) received a medial heel (Kirby) skive. Those prescribed a medial heel (Kirby) skive had a more everted resting calcaneal stance position than those that were not (mean -8.6±2.8° vs. -5.5±3.4°, p=0.02). Those prescribed an inverted (heel) cast pour had a greater range of subtalar joint motion than those prescribed a vertical (heel) cast pour (median 36.0±10.0° vs. 29.0±5.0°, p=0.01).

“…Nine studies included information on foot pain [73,75,78,87,92,95-98], three studies on ankle pain [78,86,99], and one study on both ankle/foot pain [77] (Table 13). Of these 12 studies in total, five (42%) were of low risk of bias [73,75,78,96,98] and only one study was considered being of high risk of bias [97] (Table 13 and Additional file 4).…”

What is the prevalence of musculoskeletal problems in the elderly population in developed countries? A systematic critical literature review

2012

BackgroundThe proportion of older people will be tripled by the year 2050. In addition, the incidence of chronic musculoskeletal (MSK) conditions will also increase among the elderly people. Thus, in order to prepare for future health care demands, the magnitude and impact of MSK conditions from this growing population is needed. The objective of this literature review is to determine the current prevalence of MSK disorders in the elderly population.MethodsA systematic literature search was conducted in Pubmed on articles in English, published between January 2000 and July 2011. Studies from developed countries with prevalence estimates on elderly people (60+) on the following MSK conditions were included: Non-specific extremity pain, rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, and back pain. The included articles were extracted for information and assessed for risk of bias.ResultsA total of 85 articles were included with 173 different prevalence estimates. Musculoskeletal disorders are common in the elderly population, but due to heterogeneity of the studies, no general estimate on the prevalence of MSK can be determined. Women report more often MSK pain than men. Overall, prevalence estimates either remain fairly constant or increase slightly with increasing age, but with a tendency to decrease in the oldest (80+) people.ConclusionsMusculoskeletal disorders remain prevalent in the elderly population. Given the increasing proportion of elderly population in the world population and the burden of MSK diseases among the elderly people, efforts must be made to maintain their functional capacity for as long as possible through optimal primary and secondary health care.

“…5 Runners with HA structure report more heel pain, stress fractures, and other structure-specific injuries. 6 These injuries may be the result of runners with HAs moving with a stiffer lower extremity and higher loading rates during running. 3,4,7 Although the arch structure has received much attention, there has been little focus on the mobility of the medial longitudinal arch.…”

High prevalence of foot problems in the Danish population: A survey of causes and associations

Abstract: Foot pain is highly prevalent and associated with foot deformity and leg and low back pain. More attention should be focused on foot pain and foot deformity. It is suggested that clinical examination of leg and low back pain should include foot examination.
