ThePIE CABLE VAROIt is a structural alteration in which the plantar arch is high, the heel is in Varo position (diverted inwards) and the preparation usually has a descending inclination of the first metatarsal.
According to recent studies (Krähenbühl et al., 2019; Ma et al., 2024), This type of deformity can be of origin:
- Neurological(Charcot-Marie-Tooth, parálisis cerebral, etc.)
- Posttraumatic
- Idiopathic(Without clear cause)
This morphology of the foot causes an imbalance in the distribution of loads during the march or race. Specifically, it has been observed:
- Increased pressure in medial aids and lateral heel
- Lower impact absorption
- Lateral ankle instability
- Peroneous tendinopathies
- High risk of joint degeneration (osteoarthritis)
AtCentre Podomedic, we treat the PIE CABLE VARO Through a personalized approach that seeks to correct foot support and relieve associated symptoms, such as heels, ankles or knees.
The custom orthotics that we elaborate are very effective because they adapt to the specific form and need of each patient, improving the distribution of loads, reducing the progression of the deformity and improving the stability when walking. This allows to reduce discomfort, prevent injuries and improve the quality of life.
If you suspect that you have this pathology, we invite you to ask for a biomechanical assessment in our centers.
