Did you know that podiatrists play a vital role in promoting foot health and mobility for individuals across various life stages and healthcare settings? In aged care facilities, podiatrists focus on preventing and managing foot-related issues commonly experienced by older adults, such as corns, calluses, ingrown toenails, and foot pain. By conducting regular foot assessments and providing tailored interventions, including nail care, orthotic management, and footwear advice, podiatrists help enhance comfort, mobility, and quality of life for elderly residents. For individuals living with disabilities, podiatry plays a crucial role in addressing foot and lower limb issues that may impact mobility and independence. Podiatrists assess and treat a wide range of conditions, including structural abnormalities, gait abnormalities, and biomechanical issues, to optimise functional mobility and reduce the risk of falls and injuries. Through interdisciplinary collaboration and a patient-centred approach to care, podiatry enhances foot health, mobility, and overall well-being for individuals across diverse healthcare settings. By working collaboratively with other allied health professionals, podiatrists ensure holistic care delivery that addresses the unique needs and goals of each individual, ultimately promoting optimal foot function and quality of life. #Alliedhealth #Physiotherapy #Occupationaltherapy #Podiatry #Speechpathology #Exercisephysiology #Homevisit #Telehealth #Sydney #Melbourne #Brisbane

🦵🏽 Ankle Dorsiflexion Assessment 🦵🏽 Accurately and efficiently measure your patients ankle dorsiflexion with EasyAngle! 📐 The dorsiflexion movement is more than just the backward bending of the foot. It is a crucial underpinning component for completing daily tasks such as walking, running, climbing stairs and crouching down for example 🚶🏽♂️ During a physical assessment, reduced ankle dorsiflexion can be a key indicator for a lack of mobility and stiffness during daily tasks, which can increase the likelihood of lower limb complaints such as plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinopathy and even ACL injury 🚩 Typical dorsiflexion measurement consists of “knee-to-wall” or “lunge” tests that only provide an estimate of ankle dorsiflexion, with each cm corresponding to approximately 3.6°. EasyAngle simplifies these traditional tests and quantifies the exact value of dorsiflexion with the click of a button 🔵 Normal weightbearing dorsiflexion is typically between 7°-35°, with at least 10° of ankle dorsiflexion during the stance phase of gait considered normal to effectively contribute towards forward body movement ✅ This example is just one of the many tests that EasyAngle optimises during a clinical examination.

Is it true that electric toothbrush is more effective than manual one? Whether oscillating and rotating to sweep away debris or using sonic vibrations to get the job done, electric toothbrushes are better at removing dental plaque and reducing gingivitis than manual brushes, studies show. A 2014 review of studies that had more than 5,000 participants in total reported that after using an electric toothbrush for three months, there was a 21 percent reduction in plaque, which can cause gingivitis (inflammation of the gum) and tooth decay. And there was an 11 percent reduction in gingivitis, which, left untreated, can lead to more advanced gum disease and tooth loss.
