Linking Midtarsal Mobility to Tibialis Posterior Tendinopathy: (CPE 9 120)
Term: 2023-2024 Academic Year Fall
Description
Mobility impairments are identified as a source of tendinopathies. Tendinopathy can present as a myriad of symptoms and signs with varied treatment approaches. Due to anatomical attachments of the Tibialis Posterior in all three regions of the foot, there is a linkage of midtarsal hypo and hyper mobility to tendon impairments of the Tibialis Posterior. A causative factor to poor outcomes of treating tendinopathy could be overlooking midtarsal mobility. Using a clinical reasoning model, this presentation explores the process of decision making through the use of anatomy and biomechanics as applied in case presentations with varied treatment approaches. Lab presentations and practice will offer the participant hands on experience to facilitate learning to clinical practice.
