In a lot of my teaching, I am often refering students here to threads for a collection of resources on the topic and for alternative views. It makes for good background reading and sparks their interest (especially if someone is disagreeing with me! :rolleyes: )

For the biomechanics teaching, there is a sticky thread on Threads recommended for students
There is this collection of threads on plantar fasciitis. Where else is there such a collection of quality discussion and new information?
The big topic in pediatrics is always the debate and discussion about growing out of pediatric flatfoot and the use of foot orthoses. These threads have been extremely helpful in exposing students to the diversity of views, so they can make up their own minds (afterall, is that not what its all about?):
No evidence for foot orthoses in children
Flat feet long term prognosis for juveniles
Foot orthoses and asymptomatic pediatric flatfoot
Prevalence of flat foot in preschool-aged children
Bibliography wanted on children foot problems in schools
Research info on prevalence of pronated feet
Where else can you get a resource such as this for student learning?
And of course there is all this information on Sever's Disease:
Taping and Sever's Disease
Risk factors for Sever's disease
Pronation control for in toeing adolescent with Severs disease
Ketoprofen and Severs Disease
Is Severs Disease a stress fracture?
Nothing new in the diabetic foot is missed here: Diabetic Foot, especially check this thread on latest on negative pressure wound therapy
What about this thread to get some discussion going in Gerontology:
The Effect of Working Amongst Older Persons in Podiatry?
These two threads are an awesome resource on how different people interpret and respond to research evidence:
Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy
Effectiveness of Foot Orthoses to Treat Plantar Fasciitis
For the Rheumatology teaching:
There is the latest on rheumatoid arthritis: Some new research on the rheumatoid foot and Footwear and rheumatoid arthritis. Nothing new on gout is missed here: The latest on gout and there is the divergent views, explanation, opinions and research in the thread on Lateral foot wedging for medial knee OA
These are just a small sampling of the resources here...
