Plantar calcaneal spurs in older people: longitudinal traction or vertical compression?
TL;DR: The theory that plantar calcaneal spurs are common in older men and women and are related to obesity, osteoarthritis and current or previous heel pain, but are unrelated to radiographic measurements of foot posture is supported.
Journal ArticleDOI
Footwear Characteristics and Risk of Indoor and Outdoor Falls in Older People
