“…This approach was taken due to the questionable reliability and validity of placing participants in a neutral position, and because this position may not be reached during gait [19,20]. Although we believe that this approach is preferable, the use of a relaxed reference position can result in apparently counter-intuitive findings compared to studies that have used a neutral reference position.…”

“…Interestingly, these bilateral deficits have not been demonstrated with the Star Excursion Balance Test, a noninstrumented functional test of dynamic postural control. 7,11 This test has, however, been shown to detect deficits on the involved limbs of individuals with CAI. 7,11 We have also demonstrated that with supervised rehabilitation programs that emphasize balance training we are able to significantly improve measures on static and dynamic postural control and self-reported function in patients with CAI.…”

The conference theme was "new dimensions on old problems," with a different emphasis on each day of the symposium: new dimensions on science, new dimensions on interventions, and new dimensions in the clinic, reflecting the mix of basic science and clinical practice.IAS4 brought together over 130 clinicians and scientists from a broad base of disciplines including physiotherapy, podiatry, biomechanics, orthopaedics, athletic training, and sports physicians. Participants represented many countries, including New Zealand, Brazil, Belgium, Ireland, Great Britain, Denmark, Korea, Iran, Netherlands, Qatar, Canada, and the United States. There was concern about the viability of the conference during the planning of IAS4 because of the global financial crisis and the pandemic of the H1N1 virus. Nevertheless, the number of delegates seemed to be undiminished, resulting in a vibrant, collegial conference.A call for abstracts was initially distributed in mid 2008. Prospective attendees were invited to submit abstracts of work relating to original research, case studies, or clinical commentaries. All submitted abstracts were reviewed for scientific merit by members of the scientific committee. Forty-nine abstracts were accepted and presented at the symposium. The scientific program consisted of 7 invited lectures and 4 workshops from internationally recognized experts and 32 podium and 17 poster presentations of origi- The meeting also provided an opportunity for further development of the work of the International Ankle Consortium, a multidisciplinary group that was formed at IAS2 with the aim of promoting increased harmonization and collaboration in ankle research. A Steering committee was formed, headed by Thomas Kaminski and Jay Hertel, to stimulate the development of the consortium and the future research strategies important to the area. Members of the consortium met to discuss the proposed strategies, future directions, and affirm the proposal to publish a consensus statement on ankle instability.The meeting also accepted a proposal from Virginia Commonwealth University, Richmond, Virginia, to host the Fifth International Ankle Symposium during October 2012.This issue includes a summary statement of the conference, abstracts of the invited lectures and workshops, and the abstracts of the original research presentations, both podium and poster presentations, from IAS4. A nkle sprains continue to be one of the most common sporting injuries but also continue to be the subject of little attention from researchers, largely because of the lack of acknowledgement by funding bodies. Nevertheless, an increasing number of researchers continue in the quest to understand the consequences of ankle sprain, and particularly the resulting instability. Many of the long-held beliefs about the causes of persisting problems have been seriously questioned with the creation of new knowledge.A series of keynote presentations brought this new knowledge to IAS4. Keynote speakers came from a broad crosssection of scientific specialties that ...

“…Chiropractic treatment [10], stretching exercises [9], supplementation of vitamin D3 [11][12][13] and selenium [14] and foot orthoses [15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23] have all been reported to provide a varying degree of treatment success. The reference on oral selenium is in Swedish and we cannot thus comment [14].…”

“…It has been extensively debated in literature for managing pediatric disorders through controlling the foot structure of the children [31][32][33][34]. The essence of foot orthoses is the emphasis of the importance of dynamic inter-relationships of foot joints during gait [15,23,[35][36][37]. The biomechanical principles in which foot orthoses work remain contentious [38][39][40][41].…”

The treatability of “growing pains” in children - a mini review

Aim: Growing pains in children is not an uncommon condition. Relative local overuse, reduction of bone strength, reduction of pain threshold, hypovitaminosis D and abnormal foot postures have all been found to be associated with the condition. Yet the etiology of the condition has not been completely determined. At present, there is no standard treatment protocol of the condition. As the growing pains in children tend to disappear with age, many health care practitioners opt not to treat the condition or dismiss the patient on the ground that he or she would get better with time. The present mini-review aims at reviewing the current treatment approaches and recommendation. Methods and materials:A manual search in the PubMed has been made, using the keywords growing pains in children, treatment, orthoses and vitamin D, for treatments of growing pains in children.Results: A search of literature reveals a well-implemented muscle stretching program as the first line treatment. In spite of the rather equivocal findings from the numerous studies regarding the efficacy of foot orthoses, their success in reducing pain and symptoms related to growing pains cannot be denied. The prescription of foot orthotics is clinically advocated. Also, supplementation of vitamin D3 is suggested for children with hypovitaminosis D, as it has been found that the majority of children with growing pains have a low serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D level. Conclusions:Children with growing pains should be assessed for their serum vitamin D level and their foot postures. Supplementation of vitamin D3 and foot orthoses may improve the signs and symptoms of patients, when indicated.
