Abnormal shock, caused by reduced calcaneal fat pad or subtalar joint dysfunction, frequently leads to lower extremity injuries. Podiatrists should offer preventative therapy for abnormal shock to avoid chronic pain and spinal issues.

Area of Science:

  • Biomechanics
  • Podiatry
  • Sports Medicine

Background:

  • Abnormal shock is a significant factor in chronic and overuse injuries affecting the lower extremities.
  • Key contributors include a diminished fat pad beneath the calcaneus and subtalar joint pronation mechanism dysfunction during the contact phase of gait.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the link between abnormal shock and lower extremity injuries.
  • To emphasize the need for prophylactic interventions by podiatrists.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of existing studies on abnormal shock and lower extremity injuries.
  • Analysis of the biomechanical causes of abnormal shock.

Main Results:

  • Abnormal shock is a primary cause of chronic and overuse injuries throughout the lower extremity.

  • Reduced calcaneal fat pad and subtalar joint pronation dysfunction are identified as the two main etiological factors.

    • Conclusions:

    • Sufficient evidence supports proactive podiatric intervention for individuals experiencing abnormal shock.
    • Prophylactic therapy should be administered before the onset of symptoms in the lower extremity or spine.
