Posterior Tibial Tendon Dysfunction (PTTD) Posterior Tibial Tendon Dysfunction (PTTD) The posterior tibial tendon serves as one of the major supporting structures of the foot, helping it to function while walking. Posterior tibial tendon dysfunction (PTTD) is a condition caused by changes in the tendon, impairing its ability to support the arch. This results in flattening of the foot. PTTD is often called adult acquired flatfoot because it is the most common type of flatfoot developed during adulthood.

- Causes and Symptoms. Posterior tibial tendon overuse is one of the most common causes of PTTD. PTTD-related symptoms usually develop following activities such as stair climbing, hiking, walking, and running. PTTD may also be caused by a tendon abnormality.

Posterior Tibial Tendon Dysfunction (Tibial Nerve Dysfunction) The posterior tibial tendon can be injured as a result of impact, such as a fall or contact while playing sports. Injury can also be caused over a period of time by overuse of the tendon.

- Fallen arches develop when the main arch-supporting tendon (the posterior tibial tendon) becomes weakened, which causes the underside of the foot to lose its springiness and gradually collapse. The shape and biomechanics of the foot subsequently change and symptoms eventually arise.

Tibialis posterior muscle The tibialis posterior is the most central of all the leg muscles, and is located in the deep posterior compartment of the leg.It is the key stabilizing muscle of the lower leg. Blood is supplied to the muscle by the posterior tibial artery, and innervation is via the tibial nerve.t is also attached to the interosseous membrane, which attaches to the tibia and fibula. The tendon of the tibialis posterior muscle (sometimes called the posterior tibial tendon) descends posterior to the medial malleolus and terminates by dividing into plantar, main, and recurrent components.

4 Ways to Prevent and Treat Posterior Tibial Tendonitis Any time you run or walk, your posterior tibial tendon locks your ankle in place, helping to hold your foot in a strong, rigid configuration when you push off the ground. It also functions to invert your foot, rolling your ankle to shift your weight to the outside of your foot.

Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome Tarsal tunnel syndrome is caused by anything that produces compression on the posterior tibial nerve, such as: 1  A person with flat feet is at risk for developing tarsal tunnel syndrome, because the outward tilting of the heel that occurs with fallen arches can produce strain and compression on the nerve.

Arch Pain When this tendon is weakened or overworked, it creates a type of arch pain that stresses your plantar fascia (the band of connective tissue that stretches from the heel to the ball of your foot), causes gradual fatigue of your arch, and decreases the amount of support your arch gets from the posterior tibialis tendon.

Anatomy Anatomy. The posterior tibial tendon is one of the most important tendons of the leg. A tendon attaches muscles to bones, and the posterior tibial tendon attaches the calf muscle to the bones on the inside of the foot. The main function of the tendon is to hold up the arch and support the foot when walking.The posterior tibial tendon attaches the calf muscle to the bones on the inside of the foot.uring the foot and ankle examination, your doctor will check whether these signs are present. 1  Swelling along the posterior tibial tendon. 2  This swelling is from the lower leg to the inside of the foot and ankle. 3  A change in the shape of the foot.

Anterior (Front) Lower Leg Pain Front (Anterior or Shin Pain) The injuries listed below are common causes of pain in the front of the lower leg. All conditions that cause pain in this area tend to be grouped together under the common term ‘shin splints’. Anterior Compartment Syndrome. This condition involves the compartment of muscles in the front of the low leg.

- Less common causes of posterior knee pain Referred pain is where an injury or problem elsewhere causes pain at the back of the knee. This can be from the lower back or lumbar spine and pain is referred down into the knee through the sciatic nerve.

Anatomy Posterior tibial tendon dysfunction is one of the most common problems of the foot and ankle. It occurs when the posterior tibial tendon becomes inflamed or torn. As a result, the tendon may not be able to provide stability and support for the arch of the foot, resulting in flatfoot.

Foot Tendonitis Treatment As posterior tibial foot tendonitis progresses, the arch of the foot can flatten and the toes begin to point outwards. This is the result of the posterior tibial tendon not doing its job to support the arch of the foot.

Posterior Tibial Tendon Dysfunction Posterior Tibial Tendon Dysfunction. Posterior tibial tendon dysfunction (PTTD) is the leading causes of acquired flatfoot in adults. The stages of PTTD include inflammation of the tendon, partial tear or complete tendon tear. The onset of PTTD is usually insidious and the condition is progressive over time.

- Gait disturbances can cause tendonitis. Walking or running incorrectly due to muscle imbalances or joint dysfunctions caused by another injury or from wearing improper footwear can result in tendon problems. What you put on your feet will have a dramatic effect on your entire body – not just your feet.
