- Abstract
- This clinical note describes a typical case of dynamic varus deformity of the rear foot in a stroke patient. An overactive Tibialis Posterior muscle seemed mainly responsible for the varus deformity. However, this hypothesis was not confirmed by a motor point block of this muscle. It appeared that the Tibialis Posterior and Extensor Hallucis Longus muscles were both involved in the varus deformity. A double motor point block of both the Tibialis Posterior and Extensor Hallucis Longus muscles was performed. Kinematic and kinetic data showed improvement. This case report illustrates the usefulness of gait analysis combined with motor point block in the diagnosis and management of gait disturbance.
