Posterior Tibial Tendon Dysfunction



Discuss the main aetiological factors responsible for the development of Posterior Tibial Tendon Dysfunction (PTTD)

In order to understand and comprehend the changes and the challenges with which individuals experienced physical damage and destruction onto their own selves, our energies and the concentration in this paper would revolve around the problems and situations that not only make way for a better understanding and comprehension of the changes and the challenges experienced by people with posterior tibial tendon dysfunction (PTTD).

Although much has been said and done, it becomes visible that the main root causes of people and individuals have a hard time understanding and comprehending the medical conditions that develop over the passage of time (Aadahl & Jorgensen, 2003, pp.1196).

In terms of understanding and comprehending how the condition develops and that what could be the resulting consequences and casualties that might be associated with this condition, it is necessary and significant the necessary roots of understanding and comprehending the roots due to which this condition prevails (Braunwald et.al, 2001, pp. 2290).

1. Tibialis Posterior Muscle

In line with the literatue of Aadahl, M. & Jorgensen (2003), it is vital to understand the muscular blueprint that is being established and placed in the foot.

On the inner posterior borders of the fibula & tibia, the tibialis posterior muscle shows itself as a liaison, taking up most of the pressures and take up most of the exertion on the foot which provides cushion to the movement and helps the foot move forward without any problem.

2. Posterior Tibial Tendon Dysfunction (PTTD)

Posterior Tibial Tendon Dysfunction (PTTD) is a condition where the subject usually experiences pain, swelling and even, in given chronic situations and circumstances, makes way for causing disability among people and individuals (Aadahl & Jorgensen, 2003, pp.1196). As one could witness the changes and the challenges that have been intended, the problem rises with the tibialis posterior, which is referred to as the tendon.

According to Geideman & Johnson (2000), the pain usually peaks or spikes if there appears to be any injury or problem with this particular tendon that is experienced through factors and symptoms that are not known immediately.

Over the passage of time, it becomes evident where it becomes immensely difficult for the subject to continue executing routine tasks and responsibilities altogether in the long-run.

Considering the Tibialis Posterior Muscle, the movement of the foot largely depends upon this tendon, which is responsible for providing a boot in the movement and hence helping it function at the same time. A slight rupture that is felt and experienced by the rupture could cause swelling or pain, making it extremely difficult for the patient (Aadahl & Jorgensen, 2003, pp.1196).

Another research that has been undertaken in this research has been observed by Prado et.al (2006). The tendon is tender and may be swollen, if it is constantly in movement and continue to make way for progress. You will have pain when you rise up on your toes and pain when you ...
