Foot and ankle study for PTTD patients
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study looks at the foot and ankle of people with posterior tibial tendon dysfunction (PTTD) to understand how the tendon and foot structure change. It may help doctors plan better treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have posterior tibial tendon dysfunction (PTTD) at any stage
- You are between 18 and 75 years old
- You can walk at least 100 meters without help (like a cane or walker)
Quick eligibility check

This study tests whether adding blood flow restriction (using a special cuff) to exercise helps women with pain and weakness on the inner side of the ankle due to a damaged tendon. It aims to improve strength and reduce pain during daily activities.
This trial tests whether a detailed 3D foot model (made from measurements/scans) can better predict outcomes after certain reconstructive ankle and foot surgeries. You may be able to join if you’re already scheduled for one of these surgeries and can meet walking and measurement requirements.
This study tests whether the position of your foot during exercises affects how well your Achilles tendon heals and how much pain you experience. Researchers will compare different foot positions during rehabilitation to see which works best for reducing Achilles tendon pain and improving tendon strength.
This study looks at adults with a specific type of ankle fracture involving the back part of the ankle bone (posterior malleolus) plus a certain side fracture. It uses CT scan measurements to guide how the fracture is classified and studied, and it requires you to be willing and able to follow study instructions.
This study tests if removing the plantaris muscle during surgery improves ankle movement in children with tight heel cords. It aims to see if this extra step leads to better outcomes.
This trial uses a powerful 7T MRI scanner to get detailed images of the foot and extremities. It includes patients with specific conditions (like Morton neuroma or tendon tears) and healthy volunteers, aiming to understand normal and diseased tissue better.
