How Do Foot Transforms?

After a review of the clinical information provided by Integra Partners, LLC, the Medical Director has determined that the orthopedic footwear and foot inserts is not medically necessary. The information submitted by the provider is limited and there is no other source of information to support the medical necessity for these services. There is no past medical history of previous care of the feet and what the result of that care has been. There is no information as to why orthopedic shoes and custom inserts are needed at this time. There is no record of your evaluation in the submitted material. We recommend you have evaluation by your doctor and complete the required documentation then submit it for consideration in the future for needed orthotic

Participating in basketball begins with picking which basketball shoes to wear. The purpose of a sports shoe is to improve performance or reduce the risk of injury (Fong, Hong & Li, 2007). While playing the game of basketball I’ve realized it is a sport that involves different types of shoes which help improve jumping, landing, cutting and much more. Basketball has its positives and negatives for every age group; it has good health benefits, but it also consists of moderate to high risk lower body injuries to the lower back, legs and ankles. There are different types of basketball shoes which consist of high tops, mid tops, low cuts, cushioned shoes, non-cushioned shoes, and other different combinations. The high tops basketball shoe will have a collar that goes above the ankle like a sleeve. The mid tops basketball shoe covers slightly above the ankle, but lower than high tops. The low cut basketball shoes don’t have a collar at all and they don’t cover the ankle. Shoes also vary by weight and outsole traction. Through my knowledge picking the shoe to wear is solely on your preference. Whatever shoe that you choose will have different advantages or disadvantages to them. The purpose of this literature review is to explore the variety of effects specific shoe types have on basketball athletes.

The history of prosthetics dates back many years to when they were originally made around 1500 B.C. Prosthetic devices were originally used to take the place of limbs but had no other purpose. Most prosthetic devices during Roman times were just wooden or steel pegs (Patel). In the 1500s, Ambroise Pare introduced amputation to the medical community, and shortly after,made artificial limbs to take the place of the arm and elbow earning him the name, the father of prosthetics. In the late 1600s, Pieter Andriannszoon Verduyh developed the first non-locking prosthesis for below the knee which is the basis for the joints used today. Sir James Syme then introduced ankle amputation to

Your podiatrist makes a cast of your feet to be used as a mold when the orthotic inserts are made. This is done by pressing your feet into plaster so the shape of your feet is captured. Then, the podiatrist sends the mold to the lab along with instructions for designing the inserts. This includes information on where to add padding and where to add stiff support. The result is a pair of custom orthotic inserts that correct your specific foot problem so you can get relief from your foot pain.

The unity of effect is all the elements in a story that channels the effect the author wants the audience to experience. Therefore, to achieve the “unity of effect” in the Cask of Amontillado, The Raven, and Annabel Lee, Poe used the elements of setting, alliteration, and unreliable narrator to help elicit the unsettling mood in the audience.

The orthotic market is an ever-growing industry with sales estimated to reach US$4.7 billion by the end of this year (1). Foot orthotics are a popular choice for many individuals as they help alleviate symptoms related to foot disorders including pes planus: commonly known as flat foot, knee pain, plantar fasciitis, shin splints and low back pain(2,3). They are often prescribed for their ability to provide stability, enhance mobility, reduce pain and provide support(4). Orthotics play a particular role in bone related deformities especially in the foot. They are commonly prescribed by professionals, however it is a conservative approach that

Foot injuries are very common in athletics as well as in everyday life. It’s very debilitating to have a foot injury since we use our feet in all of our daily activities. Research published in "Medicine and Science in Sports and Exercise” indicates that the average adult takes between 5,000 to 7,000 steps a day. Some sports require the most dedicated athletes spend multiple hours a day pounding their feet on the turf or pavement. Most injuries that occur in the foot require a person to try and stay off of it or completely immobilize it. Since this is very difficult for a person to do, a large percentage of foot injuries often have a very high chance of reoccurring. The severity of some injuries that can be deceiving as well. Often times a nagging pain is ignored and eventually becomes a much bigger problem.

This program was La Sylphide in 1832. Taglioni danced in Paris and received training from her father, Filippo Taglioni. The shoes she used were reinforced at the toes with darning, but otherwise they were just basic leather slippers with some reinforcement. Other dancers padded their toes with lambs wool, and relied on their on their feet and ankles for support. This type of pointe shoe only allowed brief rises on  pointe. After many advancements to pointe and ballet shoes, dancers wanted more from them. Ballerinas in Italy created a new design of pointe with what is now called a toe box. Toe boxes allow dancers to stay on their pointe shoes for an extended amount of time as long as they are centered over the shoe. Pointe shoes with the new toe boxes had a stiffer sole and were made without nails. Shoemakers used burlap, leather, paper, canvas, and glue to created the special

In 2000, scientists discovered an oldest prosthetic toe made of leather and wood in Egypt. This artificial limb was found connected to mummified remains of noblewoman, whose age is almost 3000 years. It is a great artefact to present how prosthetics have changed throughout history. Compared with recent time prosthetics, these devices were made from wood and metal, also, were covered with leather.

Describes an experimental study in aboriginal children aged 23 to 36 months who participate in an intervention implemented by educators at an aboriginal long day care service. The Abecedarian Approach Australia collaborates with remote aboriginal communities so they were responsible for this activity. They focus on intentional, individual and response adult-child interactions, with these strategies Abecedarian Approach Australia think is beneficial and positive development for children. The activity was through games which put a high priority on language development and focus on learning in a variety of situations, facilitating the acquisition of skills and concepts that will help in school, but as the study progressed, the games selected were increasing in difficulty. The study shows how the activity was made, who collaborate, the skills they showed or those they developed, if children show difficulty during the activity, and who help in this. The results consider bringing a better support to this group of children and an engagement with early childhood programs.

A study found that the combination of stretching and heel cup during the treatment plan of plantar fasciitis increases the success rate of the treatment to 95%, compared to a 70% success rate from only stretching treatment plan (Pfeiffer et al., 1999). This study was also designed to compare the effectiveness of custom made orthoses and prefabricated insoles combined with stretching, it stated that the use of custom orthotic devices with stretching was less effective than the use of prefabricated shoe insert with
