Toe walking

Toe walking is performed in the same position as the heel-raising exercise. Walk forward on the toes for ten steps. Toe-raising (Fig. 101-16)... 

A significant aspect of hip joint biomechanics is that the stmctural components are not normally subjected to constant loads. Rather, this joint is subject to unique compressive, torsion, tensile, and shear stress, sometimes simultaneously. Maximum loading occurs when the heel strikes down and the toe pushes off in walking. When an implant is in place its abiUty to withstand this repetitive loading is called its fatigue strength. If an implant is placed properly, its load is shared in an anatomically correct fashion with the bone. 

Choose comfortable clothing that will keep you warm but not hot. Layer your clothing so you can remove a sweater or jacket as you warm up and put it back on at the end of your walk.

People with high blood cyanide levels have also shown harmful effects such as weakness of the fingers and toes, difficulty walking, dimness of vision, deafness, and decreased thyroid gland function, but chemicals other than cyanide may have contributed to these effects. Skin contact with cyanide can produce irritation and sores.

The brainstem (B) physically connects the rest of our brain to the spinal cord. It carries much of what we sense below our head into the brain (like pain signals after stubbing a toe). Conversely, by way of the spinal cord, the brainstem sends messages to the rest of the body about what to do (move to the right, jump, keep walking). It also regulates many of the most basic functions—breathing, swal-... 

A 40-year-old HIV-positive woman twice took ergotamine 2 mg for a migraine white also taking nelfinavir, zidovudine and lamivudine. On the first occasion she developed pain and cyanosis in her toes, and on the second occasion she developed cyanosis and oedema in her hands and feet, causing pain so severe that she was unable to walk. On both occasions peripheral arterial pulses were not palpable. Although she recovered spontaneously on both occasions, the authors caution concurrent use due to the extremely severe potential effects. ...
