4 Common Toe Problems That Make Feet Look Abnormal
Four common toe problems can affect your appearance, as they cause deformities in bones and joints. These conditions, such as bunions, hammertoe, and hallux rigidus, may also cause significant pain and progressively worsen.
Q&A: How lunges, squats and holds can build stronger tendons and ligaments
UC Davis Health molecular exercise physiologist Keith Baar specializes in sports medicine. He studies the effects of exercise on bone, muscle and tendon health. In this Q&A, he discusses how intensive exercising after injury or when overweight can cause damage to ligaments and tendons. He also talks about the importance of integrating isometric or static exercises into our fitness routines.
Long term consequences of Total Ankle Replacement versus Ankle Fusion; a 25 year national population study of 41,000 patients
Definitive and successful treatment of end stage ankle arthritis is either Total Ankle Replacement (TAR) or Ankle Fusion (AF). Both options place patients on an irreversible pathway that risks harm from further surgery. AF may predispose patients to subsequent hindfoot joint fusion and TAR is associated with high rates of complex revision surgery. The aim is to improve decision making by investigating the risks of further surgery, adjacent joint surgery and rare but serious complications of AF versus TAR.
7 Bunion Exercises to Reduce Pain and Pressure
Bunion exercises can ease the pain caused by bunions, a painful toe joint deformity. You develop a bunion when pressure pushes the big toe toward the second toe. When the top of the toe moves, it forces the bone in the joint at the base of the toe to shift outward. As the bone shifts, it causes a lump on the side of your foot. Without treatment, bunions gradually enlarge and become inflamed.
Light exercise can yield significant cognitive benefits, new research shows
Everyday physical activity, like going for a short walk or playing with the kids, may provide short-term benefits for cognitive health, equivalent to reversing four years of cognitive aging. That was a key finding for my colleagues and me in our new study, which was published in the journal Annals of Behavioral Medicine.
