Abstract:
Background: Falls in older people are a major public health problem, and there is increasing evidence that foot problems and inappropriate footwear increase the risk of falls. Several multidisciplinary prevention clinics have been established to address the problem of falls; however, the role of podiatry in these clinics has not been clearly defined. The aims of this study were to determine the level of podiatric involvement in multidisciplinary falls clinics in Australia and to describe the assessments undertaken and interventions provided by podiatrists in these settings.Methods: A database of falls clinics was developed through consultation with departments of health in each state and territory. Clinic managers were contacted and surveyed as to whether the clinic incorporated podiatry services. If so, the podiatrists were contacted and asked to complete a brief questionnaire regarding their level of involvement and the assessment procedures and interventions offered.Results: Of the 36 clinics contacted, 25 completed the survey. Only four of these clinics reported direct podiatric involvement. Despite the limited involvement of podiatry in these clinics, all of the clinic managers stated that they considered podiatry to have an important role to play in falls prevention. Podiatry service provision in falls clinics varied considerably in relation to eligibility criteria, assessments undertaken, and interventions provided.Conclusions: Despite the recognition that foot problems and inappropriate footwear are risk factors for falls, podiatry currently has a relatively minor and poorly defined role in multidisciplinary falls-prevention clinics in Australia.

Abstract:
Background: Many cadaver-based anatomy courses and surgical workshops use prosections to help podiatry students and residents learn clinically relevant anatomy. The quality of these prosections is variable and dependent upon the methods used to prepare them. These methods have not been adequately described in the literature, and few studies describe the use of chemicals to prepare prosections of the cadaveric foot and ankle. Recognizing the need for better teaching prosections in podiatric education, we developed a chemical application method with underwater dissection to better preserve anatomic structures of the cadaveric foot and ankle. Methods: We used inexpensive chemicals before, during, and after each step, which ultimately resulted in high-quality prosections that improved identification of anatomic structures relevant to the practice of podiatric medicine. Results: Careful preservation of clinically important nerves, vessels, muscles, ligaments, and joints was achieved with these prosections. Conclusions: Although this method required additional preparation time, the resultant prosections have been repeatedly used for several years to facilitate learning among podiatry students and residents, and they have held up well. This method can be used by educators to teach podiatry students throughout their medical training and even into residency. (J Am Podiatr Med Assoc 103(5): 387–393, 2013)

Abstract:
Patients undergoing podiatric surgery should receive a thorough perioperative evaluation. Medical “clearance” is no longer sufficient; rather, formal risk assessment should be performed and risk-reducing strategies provided. A collaborative, multidisciplinary approach involving practitioners in internal medicine, anesthesiology, and podiatry is generally most appropriate. Unfortunately, expertise and training in this critical dimension of clinical practice are variable. Thus podiatric physicians should develop independent competence in perioperative evaluation in order to ensure optimal care for their patients. A general systematic approach is described that can be readily incorporated into clinical practice. (J Am Podiatr Med Assoc 94(2): 86-89, 2004)

Abstract:
This is an introductory study of forensic podiatry. To elevate forensic podiatry to the level of forensic odontology and forensic anthropology, the podiatric medical profession must begin educational programs and research. A system for monitoring the activities of podiatrists involved in forensic medicine must be established to ensure that the high degree of integrity to which the profession is committed is maintained. By following these guidelines, the author believes that sometime in the future a podiatrist will be on the staff of every major police department in the country. At that point, the podiatric medical profession will have achieved unsurpassed status, recognition, and prestige.

Abstract:
This research project investigated the orthotic prescription habits of podiatric physicians in Australia and New Zealand. A 23-item questionnaire was distributed to all members of the Australian Podiatry Association and the New Zealand Society of Podiatrists. When asked what type of foot orthoses they prescribe most often, 72% of respondents reported functional foot orthoses; the next most common response was prefabricated orthoses (12%). A typical prescription for functional foot orthoses consisted of a modified Root style orthosis, balanced to the neutral calcaneal stance position, with the shell made from polypropylene and an ethyl vinyl acetate (EVA) rearfoot post applied. The majority of podiatric physicians surveyed used a commercial orthotic laboratory to fabricate their orthoses. However, New Zealand respondents were three times more likely to prescribe prefabricated foot orthoses, and males were twice as likely as females to manufacture the orthoses themselves rather than use a commercial orthotic laboratory.

Abstract:
Despite the wide range of publication opportunities in podiatric medicine, little is known about how podiatric authors select journals in which to publish or their perceptions of journals currently available. To investigate these issues, a survey of publication patterns and perceptions of full- and part-time academic staff members at podiatric medical schools in Australia was undertaken. Most of the papers by Australian podiatric medical faculty members have been published in “local” journals, such as the Australasian Journal of Podiatric Medicine (38%) and the British Journal of Podiatry (17%). However, an increasing number of papers are being published in JAPMA (14%). In addition, a large proportion of papers have been published in a variety of journals that are not specific to podiatric medicine, particularly in the areas of biomechanics and diabetic medicine. The number of publications per faculty member was associated with the highest qualification obtained, academic rank, and the number of years of employment in higher education. The most important factors in selecting the journal in which to publish were the journal’s inclusion in MEDLINE, the perceived prestige of the journal, and the quality of the journal’s peer-review panel and editor.

Abstract:
Objective The study aim was to develop a linguistic-cultural adaptation of the KEZKAK questionnaire to be completed during the practicum of podiatric medical students in Spain, to validate the questionnaire and to evaluate its psychometric properties. Methods The cross-sectional study was carried out in two stages: 1. Cross-cultural adaptation; 2. Clinimetric validation based on assessments of interobserver reliability, test-retest reliability and internal consistency. The participants were podiatric medical students at the universities of Malaga and Miguel Hernandez, Alicante (Spain) and were recruited during the period February–October 2019. The following inclusion criteria were applied: aged at least 18 years, studying the third or fourth year of a university degree in Podiatry. All gave signed informed consent and completed the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory and the Podiatry version of the KEZKAK questionnaire. No sampling was performed and thus the entire eligible population was included in the study. Results The analysis was based on 205 participants (33.5% male, 66.5% female), with a mean age of 23.05 (SD 5.37) years. Internal consistency was excellent, with a Cronbach’s alpha of 0.95. This version of the questionnaire had five factorial structures (61.18%). No floor/ceiling effect was observed in any item. The KEZKAK presented high test-retest reliability after 21 days, with an overall ICC of 0.95 (95% CI [0.93–0.98]). Conclusion For university students of podiatry in Spain, the KEZKAK Podiatry version questionnaire is a valid, reliable instrument for measuring stressors during the practicum.

Abstract:
Within healthcare, the concept of specialisation remains both poorly defined and under-debated in the literature. This research analyses the concept of specialisation and assesses the maturity of the concept of the diabetes specialist podiatrist; tracing the origins, change over time and current status of podiatric specialisation in diabetes. Literature pertaining to the legal implications of specialist practice, settings and titles is reviewed and a definition of specialisation within the context of healthcare is proposed. The initial concept analysis led to refinement of research questions which directed further enquiry. Because answers to the research questions lie within the knowledge and experiences of key actors, managers and individual podiatrists who have held specific posts; a qualitative methodology featuring focus group and key actor interviews was utilised. The meaning of podiatric specialisation in diabetes, how diabetes evolved as a podiatric specialty, the impact of specialist titles and the longer-term, wider implications which accompany specialisation were explored. In presenting analysis of the data, the researcher focuses on theory which illuminates the findings. The centrality of Weber’s concept of charismatic authority to the development and contemporary face of specialist practice is illustrated by the data; thus it represents a guiding theoretical concept within the author’s thesis. Documentary analysis was used as a triangulation strategy, in a bid to corroborate findings elicited through interview techniques. The documentary data also illustrates both the scale of and the context within which podiatric specialisation in diabetes evolved – not in isolation, but rather as one of many specialist foci.

Abstract:
Introduction: Stump healing is essential in patients with a lower limb amputation in order for them to mobilize again. Little research has been being done on factors affecting stump healing. The aim of this paper is to explore the effect of haematological makers as well as patient characteristics on stump healing after patients have undergone an amputation procedure. In addition, a practical model regarding factors that affect stump healing was developed. Methods: Patients who underwent a major lower limb amputation (above knee and below knee) at the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh from the period of 2006 to 2009 were included in this study. A prognostic model utilizing backward stepwise logistical regression was developed to measure the probability of lower limb stump healing. The relationship between the dependent and independent variables was identified using univariate and multivariate logistic regression. Hosmer and Lemeshow goodness of fit test and Receiver Operating Curve (ROC) was used in order to measure the effectiveness of the model. The model was validated with the prospective data of 100 patients that had undergone major lower limb amputation from the year 2010 and 2011 in Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh prospectively. Results: In this study healing of the stump as defined was achieved in sixty three percent (63%) of patients. Univariate analysis found seven variables to be associated with lower limb stump healing (type of amputation, gender, hypertension, smoking, serum sodium, serum creatinine and serum High Density Lipid cholesterol (HDL)). A further four variables (age, diabetes xxv mellitus, white cell count and Prothrombin Time) were added to the model secondary to their strong clinical association with the stump healing. Three variables, namely serum sodium, serum creatinine and serum High Density Lipid cholesterol were identified which influenced stump healing. Patients with normal serum sodium were 75% more likely to have lower limb stump healing compared to that of patients with abnormal serum sodium (odds ratio [OR] 1.756; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.048-2.942). Patients with normal serum creatinine were 66% more likely to have their stump healed (OR 1.664; 95% CI 0.94 to 2.946). The healing rate of patients with a normal level of serum High Density Lipid cholesterol was 75%, in contrast to patients with an aberrant level of serum High Density Lipids cholesterol (OR 1.753; 95% CI 1.061 to 2.895). The effectiveness of the retrospective stump-healing model was demonstrated by the area under the Receiver Operator Curve (0.612), which was supported by the Hosmer and Lemeshow goodness-of-fit test (p=0.879). In the prospective study, the model’s discriminatory power was verified by the area under the Receiver Operator Curve (0.584) and Hosmer and Lemeshow goodness-of-fit test (p > 0.05). Conclusion: Serum sodium, serum High Density Lipid cholesterol and serum creatinine have a strong correlation with lower limb stump healing. However, serum sodium and serum High Density Lipid cholesterol secondary to multiple co-morbidities in this cohort group could be altered secondary to disease pathology itself. Further clinical research is necessary to evaluate the association of the risk factors with lower limb stump healing.

Full text
Abstract:
Shoe wear patterns have potential value in clinical diagnosis and forensic identification, although they lack rigorous study. Podiatrists have claimed understanding of shoe wear patterns, associating foot pathologies with characteristic patterns and implying a "onecondition, one wear pattern" hypothesis. This project was commenced to understand and clarify this relationship. Round one of an initial Delphi exercise to seek agreements over such wear pattern associations however indicated that, many different patterns could be associated with single named foot pathologies with round three agreements appearing to relate to the most common pattern associations. Analysis of the patterns in the Delphi exercise produced an instrument to describe and compare shoe wear patterns using focal points - points from which areas of shoe wear would spread. A following survey questionnaire suggested that podiatrists were most familiar with wear patterns associated with four foot pathologies - pronation, hallux rigidus, pes cavus and rearfoot varus. Patterns associated with these pathologies were collected from U. K. podiatrists in a single round questionnaire. Inductive analysis of these patterns from a hermeneutic phenomenological perspective using the focal point concept suggested that if the pathological context is known, wear patterns could be classified on the basis of causative function. A theoretical model was proposed of factors important in wear pattern production, suggesting that primary walking intention (the intended walking function of the foot) was more influential than foot pathologies in wear pattern formation and that "external" factors could also influence shoe wear. Validation and grounding of the focal point concept and model of shoe wear influence was planned, involving paired podiatry observers, to determine whether focal points could clarify, differentiate and show similarities between shoe wear patterns in reality and whether the model of wear influence was justified. To reduce the potential for observer error, two prior exercises were undertaken. A Delphi exercise focused participants on the required task and produced statements for the recognition of variables, which may influence shoe wear patterns. Inter-observer reliability tests demonstrated that clinical observation agreement levels were acceptable for the validation. In the validation, three subjects exhibiting pathologies, including hallux rigidus, and their owned footwear (22 items) were studied. The presence, level and effect of variables potentially influencing the wear patterns present, were determined by paired observations of foot pathologies, shoe fit and function, video analysis of foot function and subject interview for the footwear history. The focal point concept showed similarities and differences between shoe wear patterns, although wear pattern clarity limitations occurred. Within the pathological context the patterns predicted the related functions. The model of wear influence was supported with external influences needing to be major to override primary walking intention and foot pathology effects. A method to describe and compare shoe wear patterns and a model to explain the link between function and wear, showing the relationship of factors important in wear pattern production have been produced. This model provides an alternative perspective on foot function to that of biomechanical theory and could represent the basis of a new taxonomy for podiatry. This greater understanding of shoe wear patterns should improve their potential value in forensic identification and in clinical diagnosis.

Santos, Derek. "The development of a system to measure the effects of plantar foot pressure on the microcirculation of the foot." Thesis, Queen Margaret University, 2006. https://eresearch.qmu.ac.uk/handle/20.500.12289/7428.

Full text
Abstract:
An investigation into the effects of plantar foot pressure on the microcirculation of healthy subjects and patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis was carried out. In the light of no equipment available to carry out this study a new system was developed. A shoe device was built with a combined pressure/skin blood flow transducer embedded in a three-tier piston mechanism in the heel so that plantar foot pressure could be applied/removed and quantified. The skin blood flow transducer made contact with the skin and was able to collect data about the microcirculatory state of the skin. The first system developed consisted of the laser Doppler Fluxmeter (Moor Instruments Ltd., UK) used to collect skin blood flow information and incorporating a strain gauge (Kyowa Electronic Instruments Co. Ltd., Japan) to quantify plantar foot pressure applied to the centre of the heel. This system was visually/sound synchronised and due to the time delay error it was modified. For the final system developed, the strain gauge was replaced with a custom-made Novel capacitative transducer (Novel, Germany) to quantify pressure. This allowed for the pressure system to be electronically synchronised in real time with the laser Doppler fluxmeter using an electronic synchronisation box. A number of studies were carried out to validate the systems. The developed systems were used to: (a) investigate the effects of the venoarteriolar response in healthy subjects with regards to the effects of plantar foot pressure on skin blood flow. The study concluded that subject positioning (that is, supine or semi-weight bearing) has an effect on how the microcirculation of the skin reacts to applied pressure. Thus, studies investigating the effects of external pressure on skin blood flow must have their subjects in a position that is related to what is being studies; (b) investigate the effects of plantar foot pressure on skin blood flow in patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis. A healthy control group was compared with a cohort of patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis with no evidence of vasculitis. The study concluded that there were no significant differences between both groups. A number of articles have been published from this thesis (see Appendix 14).

Cameron, Victoria. "A study to investigate any potential effects on the foot of a commonly prescribed off-the-shelf foot orthosis in patients with early diagnosed rheumatoid arthritis (RA)." Thesis, Queen Margaret University, 2010. https://eresearch.qmu.ac.uk/handle/20.500.12289/7434.

Full text
Abstract:
Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) frequently affects the foot. Custom moulded foot orthoses are effective in the management of the foot in RA; however the process of manufacture is lengthy, resulting in a delay of treatment for the patient. Offthe- shelf foot orthoses can be dispensed at the chairside on the day of diagnosis, so the patient receives treatment immediately. This is particularly crucial in RA, as early intervention is thought to improve patient outcomes in the long term. Anecdotal evidence suggests that Podiatrists do prescribe off-the-shelf foot orthoses for the management of the foot in RA; however no clinical studies exist to support this practice. The aim of this study was to investigate any potential effects on the foot of one commonly prescribed off-the-shelf foot orthosis, in patients with early RA. The type of off-the-shelf foot orthosis used was the Slimflex™ Plastic which has been shown to be a commonly used off-the-shelf foot orthosis by Podiatrists in the management of patients with RA in Scotland (Cameron et al. 2009). A total of 35 patients diagnosed with RA, with a mean age of 52.4 years (SD 13.3 years) and median disease duration of 0.5 years (IQR 1.8 years) were included. Local ethical approval was obtained. The study used a repeated measures design, with data collected at baseline, three months, and six months when patients were barefoot, shod, and with foot orthoses, to investigate any effects over time and between conditions. The primary objective was to investigate any potential effects of the Slimflex™ Plastic off-the-shelf foot orthosis on foot health related quality of life (QOL) using the Leeds Foot Impact Scale (LFIS) and foot pain using the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). Plantar foot pressure measurement, walking speed, foot stability during walking and foot kinematics were then investigated to provide a rationale as to why foot health related QOL and foot pain may be affected with the foot orthosis. Data was analysed using SPSS version 16.0. Due to the known potential effects of medication, data was analysed for the total patient group (n=35) and subanalyses were then carried out on the group of patients who presented with stable medication throughout the study (n=12). This enabled any changes to be attributed to the foot orthosis alone and not because of any effects of medication. The LFIS and VAS for foot pain were significantly lower with the use of the foot orthosis over six months (p<0.05). Peak plantar pressure at the forefoot increased between barefoot and shod, and barefoot and foot orthosis (p<0.05), but decreased between shod and foot orthosis (p<0.05). Pressure time integral at the forefoot reduced with the foot orthosis (p<0.05). There was an increase in contact area at the midfoot and in hallux and lesser toe contact area, with the orthosis (p<0.05). Walking speed also increased over the six months (p<0.05). Preliminary findings indicated that the orthosis may affect foot stability during walking, and a case study implied that the foot orthosis positively affects foot kinematics. This study suggests that the Slimflex™ Plastic off-the-shelf foot orthosis is effective in the management of the foot in early RA, according to the measured variables in this study.

Abstract:
Introduction - Currently there is limited evidence supporting podiatric treatment of children with JIA. The foot orthoses (FOs) prescribed to JIA children so far appeared to be very expensive and required long time to manufacture before the fitting. This randomised controlled trial (RCT) aimed to determine whether pre-formed FOs that can be prescribed at chair side, impacted on pain, quality of life (primary outcomes) and/or gait-parameters (secondary outcomes) in children affected by JIA. Methods - The study took place at the Gait Analysis laboratory at Queen Margaret University – Edinburgh and at the TORT Centre, Ninewells Hospital-Dundee. Children with JIA were diagnosed according to the ILAR criteria. Intervention was blinded to the patients. The trial group received Slimflex-plus FOs, with the addition of chair side corrections and the control FOs supplied were made with leather board (1mm thick) only. Both FOs had the same black EVA top cover. Primary outcomes were investigated using validated questionnaires (VAS, CHAQ and PedsQL). Tekscan™ equipment (F-Scan™ and HR Walkway®) measured secondary outcomes in-shoe pressure and force data with and without FOs intervention. Multiple foot strikes and repetitive gait patterns were compared pre and post-treatment. Primary and secondary outcome measures were recorded at baseline, 3rd and 6th month’s period. Results - Sixty children were recruited; 48.3% (n=29) control and 51.7% (n=31) active treatment group. Within the control group 20.7% (n=6) of patients were male. Within the active treatment group, 29% (n=9) subjects were male. Age ranged between 5 to 18 years, median age for the control group was 11 (range=12.90) and for the trial group were 11.50 (range=12.11). In order to attribute any effect solely on the FOs intervention, details of changes of medication and/or new joint injections were recorded during the trial. In the control group 65.5% (n=19) were considered to be prescribed with stable medications. Similarly, amongst children receiving active treatment 74.2% (n=23) were deemed to be taking stable medications. Overall, 99.4% (n=179/180) appointments were completed, only one subject did not attend the 6 month session. Significant improvement was identified in the primary outcomes favouring active treatment with regards to pain and quality of life measures: VAS (p<0.05); CHAQ (p<0.05); PedsQL paediatric-generic (p<0.05) Peds paediatric rheumatology (p<0.05); PedsQL parent-generic (p<0.05); PedsQL parent-rheumatology (p<0.05). In all these quality of life tools where p<0.05, clinical significance was also obtained. Significant differences were also identified between the groups for gait time, stance time, total plantar surface, heel contact, midfoot, 5th metatarsal head and distal phalanx. Discussion - The results strongly suggest that FOs are effective in improving pain, quality of life and most gait parameters in JIA children. FOs can be customised at chair-side so JIA children can receive immediate podiatric benefit from the same day of the biomechanical assessment. Compliancy rate proved to be extremely high confirming that the podiatric treatment is well accepted by JIA children. Conclusion - Primary and secondary outcome’s results, strongly support the use of FOs in the treatment of JIA children, which highlights the important role of the podiatrists within the multidisciplinary team in paediatric rheumatology.

Aim To develop a list of red flag clinical indicators for possible serious pathology masquerading as, or presenting alongside, neck related musculoskeletal disorders in the adult population. Background Musculoskeletal physiotherapists provide assessment and treatment for pain and functional impairments relating to musculoskeletal disorders, such as back and neck pain. In order to apply safe and effective treatment to these conditions it is vitally important that any underlying serious complaints have been excluded. Clinical indicators known as ‘red flags’ have been developed for diagnostic triage in back pain to help identify serious underlying conditions, such as cancer and infection. Red flags for serious pathology in neck pain or neck related pathology has not received the same level of attention as red flags in back pain. A literature review identified inconsistent evidence for clinical tests and clinical indicators for serious pathology in neck related musculoskeletal disorders. This presents a serious clinical challenge for musculoskeletal physiotherapists. Method A mixed method study design was developed involving: a) Qualitative descriptive method through Physiotherapy focus group; and, b) Three round Delphi survey method involving consultant neurologists and consultant neurosurgeons. The Delphi method involves combined qualitative and quantitative data phases. Thematic content analysis was used to analyse the qualitative data. A combined descriptive and inferential (non-parametric) statistical analysis was used to analyse the quantitative data. Kendall’s W (Kendall’s coefficient of concordance) was used to evaluate the level of consensus across all participants for the quantitative phase of the Delphi method. Findings A list of neck related red flag clinical indicators within five specific categories were developed: 1. progressive pain; 2. cancer, infection, trauma; 3. neurological deficit (spinal cord compromise); 4. headache (associated with neck pain/stiffness); 5. brainstem, cervical arterial and cranial nerve dysfunctions. An increase in Kendall’s W was demonstrated between Rounds 2 and 3 in four out of five categories, indicating an increase in consensus levels between participants. This process highlights the complexity of interpreting clinical features within musculoskeletal presentations.

Abstract:
Nowadays, the popularity of football is undeniable compared to any other sport. With the popularity the amounts invested in this sport and implicitly the physical and mental of the football players also increased, thus becoming a true industry. If during the nineteenth century the players practicing this sport did it as amateurs, part-time, after hours, in the twenty-first century football became a professional sport where practitioners make every effort to achieve the highest performance possible. Thus, nowadays football players have game strategies, physical and psychological preparation, various recovery methods, but especially very intense daily workouts. Once this transition from hobby to professional was produced, new activities such as training camps and friendly matches have been introduced and the number of sports competitions has increased, consequently increasing the training frequency and intensity considerably. All these factors mentioned above led to the overuse of the muscular-arthro-kinetic chain, to the need to shorten the recovery period after the effort and to the need for creating new kinetic angles in the football game, thus favouring the emergence of new pathologies. Thus, pain in the pubic symphysis is a condition that is seen more and more often in this sport. Pain in the pubic symphysis is defined as osteitis pubis and is an inflammation of this joint and of the tendons of the corresponding muscles. In general, the main causes of osteitis pubis are: complications after birth, gynaecological or urological post surgery complications, rheumatologic affections and intense sport activities (mechanical overwork, major trauma or repeated minor trauma). In the case of football players the most common causes can be intense sport activities, rheumatic problems of any kind or urological post surgery complications. If we talked about its causes, now we need to talk about the consequences of osteitis pubis. Thus, the overuse of the joint of the pubic symphysis leads not only to the occurrence of pain, but also to changes in the statics and dynamics of the individual. In order to identify the changes mentioned above we will use Podiatry platform - a device for measuring the characteristics of the walk and posture, the quantified definition of each area: through pressure, weight, the area of the support surface, the visualisation of the pressure centre for each foot, the design of the weight centre, measurement of the medio-lateral index, the Romberg analysis. The proposed study tries to compare the indexes of the healthy football to the ones of the players suffering from osteitis pubis. The research was segmented into two parts. In the first part a total of 35 healthy subjects were selected (with adequate somatic indexes and a minimum of 5 years of sport activity in this branch), tested both in static and dynamic, and the data obtained was recorded and used in order to create average values in order to make comparisons with the data obtained in the second part . In the second part football players diagnosed with osteitis pubis were selected (with the same features as those from the first part) and tested in the same way. The results obtained in these athletes will be analyzed and compared with the average value obtained from the healthy individuals. This comparative study will provide information on how to approach the recovery treatment of osteitis pubis, on creating complex, optimal programs which would enable the shortening of the competition reintegration period.

Abstract:
The performance of a commercial optical contouring system is presented. The AMMON 2000, an optical casting system that is used to contour the bottom of the human foot for the podiatry industry, incorporates a phase-shifting fringe-projection profiler. The height profile data, z(x, y), measured with the instrument, are used to automatically design and surface a correcting orthotic. Data reduction software accounts for geometric distortions that are intrinsic to fringe projection topography when generated with a nontelecentric optical system. Contributions to the distortion that are due to the finite distance of the camera and projector exit pupils are detailed. By knowing the various parameters associated with the optical setup, as well as the position of a single reference point on the object, found by some other means, it is theoretically possible to transform the raw OPD data to the desired height contour, z(x, y), with absolute accuracy. In the AMMON 2000 the reference point is obtained by viewing the object at an angle that is nearly orthogonal to the projection axis.

Abstract:
Este estudio compara el uso realizado del campus virtual por los estudiantes de la asignatura de Biomecánica del Grado en Podología de la Universidad Complutense de Madrid, durante los cursos académicos, 2017-18 y 2019-20, y su relación con el rendimiento académico. En el segundo curso la metodología docente se implementó introduciendo evaluaciones formativas en el aula y la clase invertida en las prácticas clínicas de sala. Se extrajeron de las asignaturas virtualizadas un total de 52.779 registros almacenados en la plataforma Moodle entre ambos cursos académicos. Los logs fueron depurados, anonimizados y analizados con los programas R y SPSS v.25. Frente a un comportamiento errático y malos resultados del primer curso, en el segundo los resultados académicos mejoraron y el uso del campus correlacionó significativamente con las calificaciones finales de la asignatura y con las notas de prácticas. Los resultados sugieren que las evaluaciones formativas desarrolladas en el aula y el grado de motivación y compromiso conseguido con la metodología invertida para las prácticas de sala han sido clave para lograr un uso útil del CV y mejorar el rendimiento académico.This study compares the use of the virtual campus performed by the students of Biomechanics, a subject of the Podiatry Degree from the Complutense University of Madrid during 2017-18 and 2019-20 academic courses, and its relationship with the academic marks. In the second academic course, teaching methodology was implemented applying formative evaluations in the classroom and flipped classroom in their clinical practices. A total of 52,779 records from the virtualized subjects stored in Moodle platform in both academic courses were extracted. The logs were debugged, anonymized and analysed with the R and SPSS v.25 programs. In contrast from the erratic behaviour and the poor results in the first course, in the second one, the academic performance improved, and the use of virtual campus significantly correlated with both the final and the practice grades. Results suggest that the formative evaluations carried out in the classroom and the attained motivation and commitment levels with the flipped classroom practices were key to achieving a better CV performance and improving the academic grades.
