Excerpt
Mechanical foot pain is a syndrome in which local pain is associated with musculoskeletal tissues, occurring as a result of mechanical stress. Recent research has indicated that bone marrow lesions (BML) in the knee are associated with mechanical knee pain and increased forces, and that changing the forces within the knee can alter the pattern of BML. As foot orthoses are thought to act by modifying abnormal foot motion and internal distribution of forces, the aim of this study was to explore whether foot orthoses can modify volumes and patterns of BML in patients with mechanical midfoot pain. …
