If Subtalar joint stenting claims to reduce or improve hyperpronation of the subtalar joint why then does the calcaneal inclination angle not improve?

I have a disruptive question to ask those researching and practicing lower extremity biomechanics that reinforces the fact that hyperpronation is a biomechanical red herring: If Subtalar Joint...

Does optimizing walking or running center of pressure at the level of the foot using pedobariography have a positive, negative or zero effect?

My hypothesis is that diagnosing center of pressure on using pedobariagraphy with a goal of normalizing or optimizing the CoP as a treatment goal will eventually in too many cases, via...

Topic: onychomycosis & onychodystrophy; can we reduce the focus from benign-secondary infections & focus on underpinning shoes, RMT & biomechanics?

Primary diagnosis and treatment of onychomycosis (ugly toenails due to ONLY FUNGUS INFECTION) when dealing with ugly toenails has led to mostly failures in products, services, economics &...

Is there a way to stimulate the deep posterior tibial muscle with electrical stimulation without needling?

The PT muscle engine is deep to the Gastrocs and therefore not easily approachable with a surface pad. I can approach almost every other muscle engine without needling but have ot been able to...

What is the smallest Leg length Discrepancy we can diagnose quantitatively, are there other factors to consider for asymmetry in lower extremities?

I am biased as the innovator of The Inclined Posture. I am looking to develop and support research to answer these questions as not much exists. Dennis

Have you considered using functional foot typing (personal bias) biomedical engineering of the foot & lower extremity using neural control?

I would enjoy think tanking with you if I have peaked your interest. Dennis (Dr Sha) (Dennis Shavelson DPM)

Is subtalar joint neutral of vestigial use in lower extremity biomechanics and if so, what are you using as its replacement

Authorities have proven that "The subtalar joint neutral assessment model was likely irrelevant for prescribing foot orthotics and the continued use of neutral position is an impediment to the...
