Progressive Collapsing Foot Deformity Correction Using Longitudinal Arch Support Inflatable Ankle-Foot Orthosis: A Prospective Case-Control Study

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, Caleb Eel, a medical student at the University of Iowa, discusses the use of a longitudinal arch support ankle-foot orthosis (IAFO) for correcting flat-foot deformity. A weight-bearing CT prospective case-controlled study was conducted to assess the effectiveness of the IAFO in treating the deformity. The study found that the IAFO significantly improved some medial longitudinal arch height measurements for both flat-foot patients and control patients. However, it did not improve the overall 3D deformity for the FAO, hind foot falgus, or midfoot abduction. These findings should be considered when prescribing IAFO braces for flat-foot patients. No specific credits were mentioned in the video.
