Research on Podiatric Medicine and Healthcare

Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to welcome contributions to a Special Issue entitled "Research on Podiatric Medicine and Healthcare" in the journal Healthcare. Podiatry, as a discipline, is essential in understanding and improving foot health, which can impact individuals’ overall well-being and quality of life. In recent years, promising developments in diagnostics, treatment modalities, and preventive care have been observed, emphasizing the need for ongoing research and the dissemination of knowledge in this area.

This Special Issue aims to highlight significant research in podiatry, aligning with the journal's aim of promoting quality care practices and health outcomes. We encourage submissions that explore innovative approaches in podiatric medicine, addressing simple or complex foot disorders, their systemic implications and new lines of treatments.

In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include, but are not limited to, foot posture, diabetic foot care, pediatric podiatry, sports-related foot injuries, and advancements in surgical techniques. We aim to gather a wide range of perspectives and in-depth analyses that will serve as a valuable resource for both practitioners and researchers.

I look forward to receiving your contributions and advancing the field of podiatric medicine and research together.

Prof. Dr. Alfonso Martínez-Nova
Guest Editor
