Research

Research is a means of determining if something works, how it works and how it can be applied. Of course not all research agrees but the following are some of the research articles that have been done into some of the treatments we provide.

1. Foot and Ankle Characteristics Associated With Impaired Balance and Functional Ability in Older People
Hylton B. Menz, Meg E. Morris, and Stephen R. Lord
J Gerontol A Biol Sci Med Sci 2005 60: 1546-1552

2. Foot and Ankle Risk Factors for Falls in Older People: A Prospective Study
Hylton B. Menz, Meg E. Morris and Stephen R. Lord
The Journals of Gerontology Series A: Biological Sciences and Medical Sciences 61:866-870 (2006)

Conclusion: “Foot and ankle problems increase the risk of falls in older people. Interventions to address these factors may hold some promise as a falls prevention strategy.”
