Modulign orthotics are  orthotic devices designed to provide specific support and alignment to address various foot and lower extremity conditions. Modulign orthotics are known for their ability to provide precise control and support, promoting proper foot function and alleviating pain associated with certain foot conditions that you can fit yourself.

Tibialis Posterior Tendon Dysfunction (TPTD) is a condition that affects the tibialis posterior tendon, which runs along the inside of the ankle and foot. This tendon plays a crucial role in supporting the arch of the foot and controlling foot movement during walking and running. When the tibialis posterior tendon becomes inflamed or damaged, it can lead to TPTD, which is also commonly referred to as posterior tibial tendon dysfunction or adult-acquired flatfoot.

 

Causes of Tibialis Posterior Tendon Dysfunction may include:

1. Overuse or repetitive strain on the tendon due to activities that involve excessive walking, running, or standing.
2. Injury or trauma to the tendon.
3. Age-related degeneration of the tendon.
4. Certain medical conditions like diabetes, obesity, and inflammatory arthritis, which can increase the risk of tendon problems.

Symptoms of Tibialis Posterior Tendon Dysfunction may include:

1. Pain and swelling along the inside of the ankle.
2. Flattening of the arch of the foot (flatfoot).
3. Difficulty or pain while walking, especially on uneven surfaces.
4. Overpronation (excessive inward rolling) of the foot.

Treatment for Tibialis Posterior Tendon Dysfunction often involves conservative approaches initially, which may include rest, ice, physical therapy, and the use of supportive devices such as orthotics like Modulign orthotics. These orthotics are designed to provide arch and rearfoot support, reduce overpronation, and alleviate strain on the tibialis posterior tendon, thus helping to manage the symptoms and prevent further deterioration.
