Streamlining The Foot and Ankle CME Series

Introduction

The foot and ankle are complex structures composed of bones, muscles, ligaments, and tendons that allow for mobility and balance. Proper function is essential for activities like walking and running, while injuries such as sprains, fractures, or conditions like plantar fasciitis are common. Diagnosis involves a combination of patient history, physical examination, and imaging, with assessments focusing on gait, range of motion, and stability. Physiotherapy plays a crucial role in managing foot and ankle conditions, aiming to restore strength, flexibility, and function through targeted exercises, manual therapy, and rehabilitation programs.
