“…In addition, there is a co-occurrence of typical destructive changes of the metatarsophalangeal and interphalangeal joints of the feet, which are aggravated by inflammation of tendons, tendon sheaths, and bursae. The longitudinal and transverse arch is lowered because the head of the metatarsal bone I is insufficiently pinned to the ground by an inefficient peroneus longus muscle or the disfunction of the tibialis posterior muscle [4].…”

Background: Rheumatic diseases manifest with inflammatory and degenerative changes in the musculoskeletal system, leading to joint deformities, limiting dexterity, causing pain, and being a significant factor affecting disability level. Common causes of foot deformities include arthropathic conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA), ankylosing spondylitis (AS), and some connective tissue diseases such as systemic sclerosis (SS). Aims:The study aimed to assess the frequency of flat feet occurrence and the regularity of foot structure among patients with rheumatic diseases. Material and methods:The study included patients suffering from three rheumatic diseases: RA, AS, and SS. The conducted research involved a static assessment of the plantar side of the feet, consisting of creating a detailed imprint using plantar contouring and measurements of podometric parameters for both feet, utilizing a computerized recorder integrated with a podoscope. Results:In over half of all patients, the presence of valgus deformity of the foot was observed (right foot -54.4%, left foot -52.6%), while a small percentage exhibited varus deformity of the foot (both right and left feet -2.3%). Normal foot arching was found in just under half of the participants (right foot -43.3%, left foot -45.1%). Only 24 (14.0%) individuals confirmed awareness of flat feet. Conclusions:There is a need to assess patients with rheumatic diseases for the presence of functional disorders of the foot to implement early exercise prevention.

The design and structural analysis of the endoprosthesis of the shoulder joint

Abstract. The shoulder joint is a crucial element of the upper limb and is necessary to maintain full mobility during daily activities. Similar as in the hip, it is an example of a ball and socket joint, enabling articulation between the head of the humerus and the glenoid cavity of the scapula. By studying kinematics of upper limb s, it is possible to distinct several possible movements in the shoulder joint. Due to many painful diseases and medical conditions, it may be crucial to perform a pain reducing procedure, like shoulder joint replacement. In order to preserve the function of the joint, the endoprosthesis should be designed exclusively for the patient. To assess a scale of damage in the joint or its specific structure, the shoulder was scanned using the computed tomography procedure. Results of the scan were processed with the use of Materialise Mimics software, which converts standard 2D images into 3D CAD models. Necessary analysis and measurements were taken leading to the beginning of the designing process. The prosthesis was created using Solid Edge software, developed especially for the purpose of rapid prototyping. After determining the physical properties of structural materials, the Finite Elements Analysis of the model was conducted using SolidWorks Simulation software under various load conditions.

Rheumatic diseases are not fatal, but they result in shorter life expectancy of the patients suffering from them. This applies to all inflammatory rheumatic diseases, especially rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Rheumatic diseases, in which most of all the joint inflammatory process develops with progressive joint damage, are the cause of patients’ disability, prevent patients from working and everyday functioning, also at home, and affect all aspects of social life. The objective of rehabilitation in RA is to relieve pain, reduce or inhibit inflammation, and maintain the proper functioning of the locomotor system while slowing down or ceasing structural lesions in the joints.
