Rethinking the Evolution of the Human Foot: Insights from Experimental Research Nicholas B
© 2018. Published by The Company of Biologists Ltd | Journal of Experimental Biology (2018) 221, jeb174425. doi:10.1242/jeb.174425 REVIEW Rethinking the evolution of the human foot: insights from experimental research Nicholas B. Holowka* and Daniel E. Lieberman* ABSTRACT presumably owing to their lack of arches and mobile midfoot joints Adaptive explanations for modern human foot anatomy have long for enhanced prehensility in arboreal locomotion (see Glossary; fascinated evolutionary biologists because of the dramatic differences Fig. 1B) (DeSilva, 2010; Elftman and Manter, 1935a). Other studies between our feet and those of our closest living relatives, the great have documented how great apes use their long toes, opposable apes. Morphological features, including hallucal opposability, toe halluces and mobile ankles for grasping arboreal supports (DeSilva, length and the longitudinal arch, have traditionally been used to 2009; Holowka et al., 2017a; Morton, 1924). These observations dichotomize human and great ape feet as being adapted for bipedal underlie what has become a consensus model of human foot walking and arboreal locomotion, respectively. However, recent evolution: that selection for bipedal walking came at the expense of biomechanical models of human foot function and experimental arboreal locomotor capabilities, resulting in a dichotomy between investigations of great ape locomotion have undermined this simple human and great ape foot anatomy and function. According to this dichotomy. Here, we review this research, focusing on the way of thinking, anatomical features of the foot characteristic of biomechanics of foot strike, push-off and elastic energy storage in great apes are assumed to represent adaptations for arboreal the foot, and show that humans and great apes share some behavior, and those unique to humans are assumed to be related underappreciated, surprising similarities in foot function, such as to bipedal walking.

Discussion Assessment of an ankle injury begins with a detailed history to determine the severity, mechanism and velocity of the injury, what happened immediately after and whether there is a past history of inadequately rehabilitated ankle injury. Examination involves assessment of weight bearing, inspection, palpation, movement, and application of special examination tests. Plain X-rays may be helpful to exclude a fracture.

Most Americans Suffer from Foot Pain
NewsWorthy Analysis Page 1 of 8 NewsWorthy Analysis Foot Ailments Survey January 2009 Down At Their Heels Heel Pain Tops America’s List Of Persistent Foot Ailments The American Podiatric Medical Association recently conducted a national study which investigated how frequently Americans suffer from foot ailments, specifically heel pain. There were 1,082 survey respondents, a nationally representative sample of the U.S. population. Of these respondents, 818 had experienced at least one foot ailment within the last year, with 429 Americans reporting heel pain. This study was conducted at a 95% confidence interval with 3% margin of error. From standing for several hours each day to wearing ill-fitting shoes, exertion and discomfort take a serious toll on American feet. For many, the pain is serious enough to inhibit daily activities. Yet when problems arise, getting proper foot care is not the first thing on most American minds. A new survey by the American Podiatric Medical Association shows that this combination of bad habits and a reliance on quick fixes may be contributing to the nation’s foot woes. With heel pain as the most common complaint among those who suffer foot ailments, few people who have experienced it have taken the time to get their condition diagnosed. Furthermore, heel pain sufferers tend to consult sources other than podiatrists, instead of seeking appropriate professional care. 1) FOOTSORE NATION With a range of widespread and sometimes self-inflicted conditions, Americans’ foot problems can get in the way of their daily lives – heel pain in particular can exact such a toll.

Mcilroy's Ankle Injury Explained
McIlroy’s Ankle Injury Explained By Eva Nugent MISCP The Anterior Talofibular Ligament is big news this week because of world number 1 golf player Rory McIlroy’s injury sustained while having a football “kick about” with friends. McIlroy reports sustaining a “total rupture of his left ATFL and damage to the associated ankle joint capsule”. This unfortunate injury has put his golf season in doubt with the Open Championship starting just next week the 16th of July. But what exactly is the ATFL? And what does the rehabilitation for this injury involve? The Anterior Talofibular Ligament is one of three ligaments that make of the lateral ligament complex of the ankle joint. It originates at the fibular malleoulus of the lateral shin bone (fibula) and runs forward to and attaches to the Talus (ankle bone). The other two ligaments are the Posterior talofibular ligament (PTFL) and the Calcaneofibular ligament (CFL). The function of these ligaments is to provide stability and support to the ankle joint. The ATFL specifically prevents the anterior translation of the shin in relation to the foot/ankle. The ATFL is the most commonly injured ankle ligament and is most vulnerable when the foot is pointing downwards and inwards as the body’s centre of gravity rolls over the ankle (plantarflexed and inverted position). This is commonly described as “going over on your ankle”. It is commonly injured in sports like football or GAA where unpredictable fast turns or cutting movements are involved. This is referred to as an ankle sprain and results in damage to the fibres of the ligament as they are overstretched.

ANTERIOR KNEE PAIN Home Exercises
ANTERIOR KNEE PAIN Home Exercises Anterior knee pain is pain that occurs at the front and center of the knee. It can be caused by many different problems, including: • Weak or overused muscles • Chondromalacia of the patella (softening and breakdown of the cartilage on the underside of the kneecap) • Inflammations and tendon injury (bursitis, tendonitis) • Loose ligaments with instability of the kneecap • Articular cartilage damage (chondromalacia patella) • Swelling due to fluid buildup in the knee joint • An overload of the extensor mechanism of the knee with or without malalignment of the patella You may feel pain after exercising or when you sit too long. The pain may be a nagging ache or an occasional sharp twinge. Because the pain is around the front of your knee, treatment has traditionally focused on the knee itself and may include taping or bracing the kneecap, or patel- la, and/ or strengthening the thigh muscle—the quadriceps—that helps control your kneecap to improve the contact area between the kneecap and the thigh bone, or femur, beneath it. Howev- er, recent evidence suggests that strengthening your hip and core muscles can also help. The control of your knee from side to side comes from the glutes and core control; that is why those areas are so important in management of anterior knee pain. The exercises below will work on a combination of flexibility and strength of your knee, hip, and core. Although some soreness with exercise is expected, we do not want any sharp pain–pain that gets worse with each rep of an exercise or any increased soreness for more than 24 hours.
