The objective of this review was to examine the influence of minimalist shoes on the running biomechanics of children and to establish a theoretical analysis of the influence of this type of shoes on the injury risk.Between 8 and 15 years old, repeated stress induced by the regular practice of sports and growth spurts experienced by active children make them prone to overuse injuries. The most common...
Sever's disease, is a musculoskeletal condition occurring in adolescence that symptomatically manifests as posterior heel pain during ambulation. Often participation in physical activity is severely limited resulting in frustration for children and parents alike. Conservative treatment options have included rest, abstinence from athletic activity, heel lifts, foot orthotic devices, ice, and calf-stretching...
Bone stress fractures (SF) occur when force is applied repeatedly, even when that force is inferior to bone resistance. Due to the biomechanics of the foot such occurrences are very frequent in the foot; changes in bone tissue resistance can lead to pathological fractures, especially in cases of osteonecrosis. The pathological anatomy has similar characteristics to that of a normal fracture. Among...
