Abstract
Foot injury is most frequently recognized among sports injuries, and injured persons generally go to hospital complaining of pain. Human beings only touch the ground with their feet, foot disorder affects the proximal joints, and vice versa, subsequently inducing various disorders. Treatment for foot injury should be recognized not only as a disorder of foot alone, but also as that of whole body. The followings are therefore necessary; accurate recognition of the injured point from the anatomical viewpoint, functional evaluation without load, functional evaluation with load in order to examine the relation to the center of gravity. It is of paramount importance to analyze each examination and evaluation, and to explore the optimum treatment.
