“…It is a surprisingly common condition, with estimates of its prevalence ranging between 3.3% and 10%; however, the true prevalence may much higher due to the late diagnosis of this condition (Kohls‐Gatzoulis et al ). The disease is mainly characterized by progressiveness, which means that this condition worsens if the previous treatment is not implemented correctly (Mosier et al ; Yeap et al ; Kohls‐Gatzoulis et al ; Uchiyama et al ; Semple et al ; Carmody et al ). PTTD itself occurs as a consequence of overloading the TPM tendon and commonly occurs after activities that involve the tendon, such as running, triathlon, walking or hiking (Wilk et al ; Cipriani et al ; Burns et al ; Shaw et al ; Pinney and Lin ; Howitt et al ; Espinosa and Maurer ).…”

By detecting early posterior tibial tendon disease, progression may be halted with nonoperative means; if left to progress, surgical reconstruction with osteotomy and arthrodesis becomes necessary (Arangio and Salathe ; Semple et al ; Carmody et al ). A weakening of the TPT could lead to the impossibility of effective action by the gastrocnemius muscle, which can lead to impaired balance and gait correct.…”

“…Therefore, PTTD is believed to be a complex, painful, progressive musculoskeletal disorder, which affects mid‐ to late‐aged women more often than men (Ross et al ). PTTD can be treated both non‐operatively and operatively; however, the correct choice depends on the stage of the disease (Carmody et al ).…”

Although the tendon of the tibialis posterior muscle (TPM) is high morphological variability, its insertion is not well defined in anatomy discussions. The aim of the work is to systematize the classification of tibialis posterior tendon insertion by anatomical dissection. Classical anatomical dissection was performed on 80 lower limbs (40 female, 40 male) fixed in 10% formalin solution. The morphology of the insertion of the tendon was evaluated, and the muscle was subjected to appropriate morphometric measurements. Four types of insertion were observed, the most common being Type III (35 cases -43.75%): a triple distal attachment where the main tendon inserts to the navicular bone and the medial cuneiform bone, and two accessory bands insert to the medial, lateral, or intermediate cuneiform bone or to the metatarsal bones (II, III, IV, V) depending on subtypes (A-C). The second most common type was Type II (18 cases: 22.5%): a double distal attachment. Type IV (14 cases: 17.5%) was characterized by quadruple distal attachment and was also divided into three subtypes (A-B). The rarest type was Type I (13 cases: 16.25%), which was characterized by a single band: the main tendon inserts to the navicular bone and the medial cuneiform bone. The tendon of the TPM presents high morphological variability. Knowledge of the four particular types of insertions is essential for both clinicians and anatomists. Clin. Anat. 32:557-565, 2019.

“…Kada su uzdužni svodovi spušteni, stopalo je spušteno ili ravno (planus) [19], [20]. Spušteno stopalo kao i kavusno stopalo (s visokim svodom) ne prenosi sile učinkovito i zato može uzrokovati bol u stopalu.…”

Bez obzira na ciljeve studije, bilo da se radi o morfološkoj klasifikaciji stopala ili prilagođavanju proizvoda poput ortopedskih uložaka / potplata ili prikladne obuće za atipična stopala, neophodno je pronaći racionalnu metodu za otkrivanje antropometrijskih točaka i krivulja. Studije o objašnjenju antropometrije stopala su malobrojne, a u nekim slučajevima predstavljaju suprotnosti mjerenjima između ručnog postupka i postupka automatskog skeniranja. Također, naš cilj bio je upotrijebiti beskontaktnu metodu mjerenja da se otkriju antropometrijske točke na stopalu. U ovoj metodi se predlažu različite tehnike praćenja pomoću različitih podesivih ravnina. U 3D grafičkom procesu, morfološke krivulje su lokalizirane pomoću tih antropometrijskih točaka i omogućuju identifikaciju stopala tim mjerenjima. Ona su uspoređena s mjerenjima pomoću 3D skenera stopala da bi se metoda otkrivanja antropometrijskih točaka mogla potvrditi i poboljšati metoda koju koriste ovi skeneri.

“…Tibialis posterior dysfunction is well recognised as a cause of flatfeet in both adults and the elderly [13]. Thus, many studies often investigate the alterations of this muscle during the development of aging [3,34]. However, there has been no comprehensive evaluation of degenerative changes in structural and mechanical properties of the peroneus longus muscle to date.…”

Age-related structural-mechanical property changes in human peroneus longus muscle

Background: Functional impairment of the muscle-tendon unit is one of the most remarkable effects of aging. The function of the peroneus longus muscle is to stabilise the foot and ankle joint. A deterioration of the structural and mechanical properties of this muscle can potentially lead to foot problems in older adults. This study aimed to investigate the effects of age on structural, histological, and mechanical features in peroneus longus muscle samples taken from embalmed cadavers of two different age groups; young adult (30-60 years) and old adult (over 60 years). Materials and methods: The mechanical property was analysed through the results of cross-sectional area, tensile, tensile stress, and modulus of elasticity. The arrangement of the collagen in the perimysium and tendon was examined by scanning electron microscopy. Fatty infiltration within the musculotendinous junction was evaluated by Masson' trichrome stained muscle sections. Results: This study thus provides evidence that there are indeed age-induced mechanical property changes in the peroneus longus muscle, which include reductions in the tensile force, tensile stress, and modulus of elasticity, and is related to the malformation of collagen fibrils and the massive fat accumulation in the musculotendinous junction. Conclusions: These alterations may further result in a reduction of muscle strength and quality in an older person.
