Musculoskeletal foot pathology is endemic in patients with rheumatological conditions, with up to 90% of patients reporting current foot pain. However, foot pathology is often trivialised, despite the strong body of evidence showing foot problems are associated with reduced quality of life. The Foot and Ankle in Rheumatology is a unique, comprehensive, and detailed guide to all aspects of the management of foot and ankle pathologies in rheumatic conditions. Written by a team of leading experts, this title provides international perspectives and current state of the art information on foot and ankle pathology across a range of conditions. With over 170 colour images and photographs, practical diagnostic and management techniques are clearly explained with references to the latest guidelines. Rheumatology is a fast-evolving field, with major advances in treatment and management strategies. As the effective management of rheumatological foot and ankle disorders requires and integrated, disease-stage approach across a multidisciplinary team, the Foot and Ankle in Rheumatology has been designed to provide clear, practical, and evidence-based advice for a wide range of health professions, from podiatrists, rheumatologists, and orthopaedic surgeons to occupational therapists and physiotherapists.

This is a uniquely helpful and accessible guide to taking control of your own foot health by holistic heath innovator Yamuna Zake. We don't need doctors, orthotics or even surgery to relieve common foot problems, such as plantar fasciitis, bunions, neuromas, arthritis, hammertoes, and flat feet. By learning a correct gait that uses the entire foot to distribute weight, we can relieve and prevent common foot problems without any medical intervention. The book offers an easy-to-follow 4-week program of routines that take just 15 minutes a day during the program and allows readers to fix their feet and take ownership of their body. Each of the four weeks focuses on a different part of the foot: the heel, the arch, the ball and the toes. There are 3-4 exercises in each section and readers try them all and can choose to focus on those exercises in each section that they enjoy most. This programme is then supported with mindful foot practices to ensure bad habits don't return. Six common foot problems are also explored, including their causes (specific incorrect walking patterns) and ways of preventing and relieving them (exercises plus mindful practices). You won't find any medical concepts or terminology in this book, nor do you need to learn complicated foot anatomy. The whole program is based on what you already know: walking. You'll learn how to walk and stand correctly and to use every part of your feet as nature intended. That's all you need to do!

WARNING: YOUR FEET MAY BE KILLING YOU - LITERALLY. Too often a person's walk with diabetes ends with an amputation of a lower limb. Author Peter Allton, a Podiatrist with over 27 years' experience, says: "I find it shocking and alarming that in 2015, one person every 20 seconds is undergoing a lower limb amputation because of their diabetes. Equally shocking, and yet exciting to me, is the fact that up to 85% of these could have been avoided. That is why I founded Undefeeted to have an impact on that statistic, one foot at a time. To achieve that, I have to get personal with you on an individual basis and help you apply the principles of Undefeeted by helping you live in what I call the Diabetic sweet spot. Within the pages of this book, you will find a step-by-step guide to living in the sweet spot. You will learn why it is important to know: how diabetes can affect your feet; what your personal risk is; and how to act to minimise that risk. Don't let diabetes defeet you; instead, take control and continue living an active life doing the things you enjoy with those you love. STAY UNDEFEETED!"

In modern society, an increasing number of people are afflicted by painful foot disorders, and one of the most common disorders when it comes to our feet is Hallux Valgus, also known as bunions. Sooner or later, approximately 25 % of the population develop this painful condition, but current scientific research within the field has yet to come up with an unequivocal answer to why we develop bunions.
Up until now, the recommended treatment has been to use different orthopedic aids, or to restore the angle of the toe joint by a surgical procedure - often followed by a long period of convalescence. Unfortunately, surgery is no guarantee that the condition doesn't return.
This book presents a new, proven and simple method for preventing and treating Hallux Valgus, without any need for surgery and/or expensive orthopedic aids. In this book, both the theory behind the method and the different exercises that constitute the treatment are described.
