With so many different brands, models, and styles of running shoes on the market today, some people are wondering if you can run barefoot shoes.

LER is brought to you by the same team that brought you BioMechanics magazine. When CMP Medica abruptly shut down BioMechanics in February, a void was immediately created. Our research showed that there was a need for a multi-disciplinary publication focused and targeted on the lower extremity. Healthcare reform and the continuum of care has opened the door for the delivery of accurate, practical and relevant information for the various specialists involved in treating the lower extremity. Podiatrists, physical therapists, orthopedic surgeons, orthotists, prosthetists, and pedorthics are all connected in this process, and LER will be bridging the information gap between the various specialists as well as between practitioners and manufacturers of products used to treat lower extremity injuries.
Relief from plantar fasciitis is possible. This condition, in fact, is a result of plantar fasciitis. Plantar fasciitis is inflammation of the plantar fascia ligament. The plantar fascia is a very important ligament because it holds the arch of the foot. Injuries to this ligament can cause pain and inflammation. Exercises designed to stretch and strengthen this ligament can provide relief from heel pain.
Stress fracture of the tibia (or shinbone in the medical parlance) occurs when the force on the tibia by the bones extending upward against the vertical axis of the shin is very high. This forces the upper ends of the tibia to move faster than the lower ends. The result is the rapid changing of the linear length of the tibia. This results in stress being inflicted on the fibrous tissue just beneath the surface of the bone. While the pain from this fracture can be kept under control with simple rest and time-off medication, if the injury is caused by an accident or fall, a more severe treatment is needed.

Plantar flexor in plantar fasciitis is still unclear as the exact cause of the ailment is unknown. Although several theories have been mentioned in the medical literature to date, these remain unconfirmed. However, the fact remains that this floor has a vital role in the body and its normal development, growth, and function needs to be monitored for optimum health. In plantar fasciitis, the plantar fascia becomes inflamed due to microtrauma, and its function gets disturbed.
