Mononeuropathies affecting the lower extremities.

Abstract

Focal nerve injuries are a major source of pain and sensory disturbance in the foot, especially when branches of the tibial or peroneal nerves are involved. As patients with these disorders frequently seek podiatric evaluation early in the course of these disorders, the podiatrist must be an expert in the prompt recognition and proper treatment of these disorders.

[Gait analysis--a prerequisite for general movement analysis].

Our system for analysis of gait is a combined visualisation of angular velocities in any joint with dynamic measurements of pressure at the sole while walking in a natural surrounding. Infrared reflectors are attached to chosen parts of the body. Their position in space is sampled over time and transferred to an easily manageable personal computer that visualizes motion in progression as angular velocities. Pressure at the sole is measured by pressure sensors. The magnitude of force is expressed as calibrated circular areas following the dynamic course of gait. The system is accurate and easily operated. The time necessary for measurements and evaluation of data as well as the costs render an application in daily clinical work acceptable.

Interaction of vestibular and proprioceptive inputs for human self-motion perception.

Human perception of horizontal self(body)-motion in space was studied during various combinations of vestibular and leg-proprioceptive stimuli in the dark. During sinusoidal rotations of the trunk relative to the stationary feet (functionally synergistic combination) the perception was almost veridical over the frequency range tested (0.025-0.4 Hz). This finding suggested a dominance of the proprioceptive over the vestibular input, since the quantitative aspects of the perception (gain, phase, and detection threshold): (a) closely resembled those of the proprioceptive foot-to-trunk perception, and (b) clearly differed from those of the vestibular self-motion perception. However, when using other combinations, the self-motion perception changed in a monotonous way as a function of the two inputs, indicating that the two inputs do interact in a linear way. In a model of these findings the interaction occurs in two stages: (1) summation of a vestibular trunk-in-space signal and a (dynamically matched) proprioceptive foot-to-trunk signal yields an internal representation of foot support motion in space; (2) superposition of the latter by an almost ideal proprioceptive trunk-to-foot signal results in a representation of trunk-in-space motion (essentially proprioception-dependent and ideal when the feet are stationary).
