When Kristi Yamaguchi first took to the ice it wasn’t in hopes of an Olympic Gold Medal. The future Olympic Champion (1992) and World Figure Skating Champion (1991 and 1992) had been born with fetal clubfoot, and figure skating was a form of physical therapy for her condition. Fetal Clubfoot (talipes equinovarus) is a birth defect in which a child’s feet are misshapen. The feet (or sometimes one foot only) turn inwards toward the middle of the body and appear abnormally small. A child who learns to walk with clubfeet looks as if she is walking on her ankles.

Q: What is the difference between flat feet and fallen arches?

Q: How do I spot fungal toenail infections?

A: You can normally spot a fungal toenail infection by a change in the nail’s color. The toenail can become yellow, green, white, brown or black. Sometimes the discoloration will be limited to a small spot on the nail. Other times it will cover the entire nail’s surface. Sometimes the fungus will resemble a crumbly substance that you can scrape off; other times it will grow on the underside of the nail.

Foot ulcers are open sores or wounds on the feet that can be very shallow or very deep. They are associated with diabetics who suffer from diabetic foot (a condition caused by decreased sensation and poor circulation in the lower limbs), but they can also form on the foot of a healthy person. They tend to form over previous abrasions, callus foot tissue or foot deformities including but not limited to foot injury, calluses, corns, bunions, hammertoe and claw toe.

The oldest prosthetic device belonged to an Egyptian woman around approximately 1000 B.C.E. It was a wooden toe, and archeologists claim that scratch marks on its sole provide evidence that it was in fact functional. Today most toe amputees use prosthetics for aesthetic reasons only; they do not use (or need) prosthetics to get around. Customized shoes fitted by a podiatrist usually do the trick when it comes to regaining balance and a comfortable gait. (The Egyptians, of course, did not have the advantage of these orthopedic shoes or orthopedic inserts.

In World War II approximately thirty percent of wounded soldiers died. The Vietnam War’s fatality rate was also high with twenty-four percent of wounded soldiers dying in battle. The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan seem to have a relatively low casualty rate with one in every ten wounded soldiers dying. But this low mortality rate brings with it its own problems. More soldiers may be surviving, but their lives are still devastatingly affected by injuries that in other times would have meant death.

Before the Birkenstock family started making sandals, they made orthopedic shoe inserts. It all began with a German cobbler named Konrad Birkenstock (descended from a long line of cobblers, the earliest recorded name being Johan Adam Birkenstock who was born in 1754). Konrad Birkenstock owned two shoe stores in Frankfurt. At the time, shoes were made with a flat insole despite the obviously arched surface of the bottom of the feet. Konrad invented the first tool that enabled cobblers to create shoes with contoured insoles that were customized to the curvature of their customers’ feet.

Diabetics must be particularly cautious when it comes to preventing foot injuries. Even minor blisters, calluses and abrasions can lead to open wounds on the feet known as foot ulcers. These foot ulcers are easily infected, and in worst-case scenarios, the infection enters the bone and spreads to the rest of the body. These infections can be so serious that a toe, foot or even lower leg may need to be amputated in order to preserve the health of the rest of the body. In fact, diabetes is the leading cause of non-traumatic amputation in the industrialized world.
