- Could It Be Possible That I Am Getting Bunions? My Grandma Had Them And Yesterday I Was Noticing Tha
By: Kent Smith | - There is no way to know for certain whether or not you have a bunion without a doctors diagnosis.

- The American Shoe System: Why Are Shoes Sized Differently For Men And Women?
By: Kent Smith | - Americans start their sizing system at 1 (unlike the Europeans who begin at zero) and use a formula to arrive at sizes for mens, womens and childrens shoes. The heel-to-toe length of the foot (in inches) is multiplied by 3 and then a constant is subtracted from the product. This constant is different for men, women and children.
The Formula
For Men:3 x length of foot 22 = shoe size
For Women: 3 x length of foot 21 (or ...

- Knowing Your Athletic Shoes Inside And Out
By: Kent Smith | - All athletic shoes have a least four basic parts: the outsole, the insole, the midsole and the upper. The outsole is the part of the shoe that touches the ground. It is usually made out of some kind of rubber material that is treaded for traction. The insole is the part of the shoe that our foot sits on. Most insoles, especially in athletic shoes, are removable. Some people even choose to purchase customized or orthopedic insoles to insert into their shoes to give them added support, balanc ...

Foot stress ultimately affects the res ...

- Help! How Do I Treat Plantar Warts That Will Not Go Away?
By: Kent Smith | - Plantar Warts are a common problem. Some studies estimate that as many as 10 percent of Americans are infected. These warts, which form on the sole of your feet, are caused by the Human Papillomavirus (HPV). Most people pick them up by going barefoot in public locker rooms or showers. Humans build up immunity to the virus with age and so the warts are particularly common in children, who can catch the virus simply by walking around barefoot outside.

- Keeping Your Feet Happy
By: Kent Smith | - Do you have happy feet? And no! I am not talking about the movie with the tap-dancing penguins.
Our feet may be on of the most neglected and abused parts of our body. How can two such seemingly small and fragile appendages support the entire weight of our body? Well, with twenty-six bones, thirty-three joints and over one hundred tendons, ligaments and muscles our feet are more than meets the eye. These complex machines allow us to jump, sprint, slam dunk, pirouette and, yes, ...

By: Kent Smith | - The foot bone is connected to the ankle bone and the ankle bones connected to the leg bone... If only it were that easy! The foot, which is made up twenty-six distinct bones, is not nearly as simple as our childhood anatomy lessons would suggest. It is a structure of remarkable strength and flexibility: twenty-six bones (one quarter of the total bones in the human body are in the feet!), thirty-three joints, and hundreds of distinct muscles, tendons and ligaments. And it can ...

- Foot Ulcers And Preventative Care
By: Kent Smith | - Foot deformities are common among diabetic patients suffering from chronic complications of the disease such as neuropathy (decreased neural sensation). The atrophy of muscles in the foot (due to neuropathy and poor circulation) makes it difficult for these muscles to hold the toes in their proper position. Unable to feel unhealthy friction or rubbing on their feet, diabetics are more likely to suffer from blisters, corns, calluses, bunions and hammertoe.

- Finding The Right Pair Of Shoes To Prevent Foot Injury And Foot Deformity
By: Kent Smith | - A surprising number of Americans have feet that are two different sizes. Some studies estimate the number is upwards of sixty-percent. Many of these people can get away with fitting both feet into the same size shoes. If the feet are just a half-size apart than both feet should be able to comfortably fit as long as you are careful to avoid designs with unusually narrow toe boxes or any shoe that pinches your feet. Even feet that are a full size apart can usually compromise. If the left foot ...

- Amputations: Caring For The Remaining Limb
By: Kent Smith | - Amputations of a lower limb mean extra stress (and higher risk) for the remaining limb that now must support the entire weight of the body. This is especially true in amputations related to diabetes, where the conditions that led to the amputation in the first place (neuropathy or decreased nervous sensation and poor circulatory health) continue to plague the remaining limb. Moreover, foot ulcers (open wounds on the foot that are the usually the starting place for an infection that ultimately ...

- Buying Shoes For Amputees
By: Kent Smith | - Amputation is a complicated procedure requiring several steps to ensure that further damage is not done to the patient during the surgery. The surgeons first task is to tie off the major arteries and veins to prevent hemorrhage, which can lead to the patients death. The muscle groups must then be carefully separated and transected in a way that will retain the maximum mobility possible. Finally, the surgeon saws off the bone. Skin and muscles are sewn over the stump.

By: Kent Smith | - When Kristi Yamaguchi first took to the ice it wasnt in hopes of an Olympic Gold Medal.

- Flat Feet Versus Fallen Arches
By: Kent Smith | - Q: What is the difference between flat feet and fallen arches?
A: Though some people use flat feet and fallen arches interchangeably, they can and should be distinguished. Medically speaking, a person with flat feet has no arches at all. The soles of their feet rest solidly on the ground. Only 5 percent of the population fit into this category. Many people who think they have flat feet actually have fallen arches. This condition is much more common (roughly seventy percent of ...

- Toe Amputation: Are Prosthetics Necessary?
By: Kent Smith | - The oldest prosthetic device belonged to an Egyptian woman around approximately 1000 B.C.E. It was a wooden toe, and archeologists claim that scratch marks on its sole provide evidence that it was in fact functional. Today most toe amputees use prosthetics for aesthetic reasons only; they do not use (or need) prosthetics to get around. Customized shoes fitted by a podiatrist usually do the trick when it comes to regaining balance and a comfortable gait. (The Egyptians, of course, did not hav ...

- Increased Amputees In The United States Due To The Iraq War
By: Kent Smith | - In World War II approximately thirty percent of wounded soldiers died. The Vietnam Wars fatality rate was also high with twenty-four percent of wounded soldiers dying in battle. The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan seem to have a relatively low casualty rate with one in every ten wounded soldiers dying. But this low mortality rate brings with it its own problems. More soldiers may be surviving, but their lives are still devastatingly affected by injuries that in other times would have me ...

The virus, which usually stays in the body for a period of two weeks, can still cause permanent damage. It attacks the nervous system, which in turn causes various muscles to become paralyzed.

By: Kent Smith | - I remember discovering my grandmothers collections of high-heels one afternoon when I was playing a secret game of dress-up in her closet. For as long as I had known her, my grandmother had worn the same pair of white, scuffed-up leather tennis shoes which she would slip-on and slip-off without undoing the laces. I couldnt imagine her prancing around in these funny looking gold and silver strappy things with pointy noises and geometric designs made from sequins. Why don ...

By: Danielle K. D. | - Foot-problems are not the first symptom we usually associate with Diabetes. We think of low blood sugar or problems with circulation and weight. But in fact, foot problems in diabetics can indicate that something serious is going on. Mild discomfort can escalate quickly and evolve into a critical medical condition.
