What is Posterior Tibial Tendon Dysfunction?
The tibialis posterior muscle and tendon complex can be an vitally important muscle tendon complex in the leg. The tendon on this tibialis posterior muscle travels over the medial side of the rearfoot joint and has the job associated with holding up the mid-foot on the foot. If this tibialis posterior muscle is poor or does not work properly, then the arch of the feet would collapse. A condition known as posterior tibial tendon dysfunction can result from the muscle not with the ability to do its work effectively. The effect is progressive discomfort and also deformity around the rearfoot as well as the mid-foot of the feet. If treatment is not began it may turn out to be quite crippling.
