Dysfunction of the Tibialis Posterior Tendon
July 23rd, 2010 by admin
Your mid-foot with the feet are a critical structure intended for regular function. Many elements have the effect of holding the mid-foot ( arch ) upward. The main is really a muscle/tendon complex inside the lower-leg and attaches to the arch. If the muscle/tendon complex can no longer carry out it’s purpose the arch with the feet collapses producing pain and gradual disability. This is called posterior tibial tendon dysfunction. It is very important this is detected early so it can be helped by hard foot orthotics to counteract additional disability. If it’s not treated early and handled, surgical treatment is often needed since it will become really sore.
