Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Podiatry is the branch of health sciences concerned with the research, assessment, prevention, diagnosis and treatment of all foot and ankle conditions associated with the human body. This is done using established conservative or surgical podiatric methods.
This Special Issue seeks novel research papers related to podiatry and health, particularly any clinical subject areas such as 1) biomechanics and bioengineering, 2) dermatology, 3) diabetology and metabolic syndrome, 4) epidemiology, 5) foot and ankle surgery, 6) gerontology and geriatrics, 7) orthotics and prosthetics, 8) pediatrics, 9) prevention and promotion health, 10) physical therapy, 11) sports, and 12) radiology. We encourage the submission of interdisciplinary work and multi-national collaborative research. We also encourage the submission of original research of the policy, organization and delivery of services related to health systems that focus on issues related to foot and ankle health.
We welcome novel research papers using different study designs as well as systematic reviews and meta-analysis.
