- The foot is the contact weight-bearing component of the lower limb. A normal foot has the flexibility, adaptability and structural strength to transfer almost incredible weight-bearing and propulsive forces from the body to a wide variety of surfaces.
- Abnormalities of the ankle, leg, knee, thigh or hip such as mal-alignment problems, arthritic conditions, limb shortening, previous injury or muscle imbalance may affect the foot adversely and may lead to foot problems.
- Foot problems related to lower limb abnormalities can be complex and require detailed investigation, consultation and management planning.
- Dr Bothma will discuss treatment options comprehensively with you.
