Biomechanical and morphological characterization of the foot in patients with posterior tibial tendon dysfunction. KU Leuven
This thesis will focus on patients with posterior tendon dysfunction (PTTD). Well known classifications of this disease are based on clinical outcome measurements. Which provide a base for decision making in the treatment of these patients. Little is known about the biomechanical characteristics of these patients. Besides kinematic differences we will focus on kinetics. Exploring the characteristics with different food models and making a new ...
