Study of the Anatomy, Pathology and Recovery of the Adducted Equinovarus Foot

Abstract

The equinovarus foot is a deformity of the foot sole that can be described as imperfect contact with soil in both shape and position. It appears as a static and dynamic disorder caused by genetic modifications of human organisms. The incidence of vicious positions and malformations of lower limbs is reduced but the lack of information and of appropriate amelioration and recovery programs can determine painful reactions and discomfort possibly leading to visible physical deficiencies which could result in a patient inferiority complex. Correction of deformities in the affected foot will be accomplished by means of adequate programs which include procedures using gypsum devices along with adequately devised, dosed, and correctly applied recovery exercises.
