How can I find the pressure exerted by a 130lb. person wearing shoes with a half inch wide heal?

It's difficult to say, since the pressure will likely not be distributed evenly between the toe and the heel.\n\nIf you assume that the pressure IS distributed evenly, you simply need to know  the total contact area of the shoe(s) with the ground. The weight, divided by the area, will be the static pressure. DYNAMIC pressure (like if the person is walking or running) would be even more difficult to determine.

all i can offer is to put some antiseptic cream or dissolved salt in water on it and cover it with a strong bandage... it will heal itself... maybe get permission to wear open backed shoes for a few days.\nhope that helps... its just one of those things we cant do anything about

No, this sounds like an additional injury that was not previously noticed or is something new. They could be connected only by the means of that by working on your feet that particular foot/ankle is compensating for the other one now due to a shift caused by the previous injury. Get it looked at im sure it is fixable more easily that you think. physical therapy im sure will work wonders. Similar thing happened to me.

Calves:\n-Put you foot against a pole or door frame and pull yourself torwards it. \n- Put your feet about 2-3 feet away from eachother( one infront of  an other) and push on a wall keeping both feet on the ground. You may have to bring more distance between your feet to feel a stretch. \n- Get into a push up position and take one foot and rest it on the foot that is alreadly on the ground and stretch untill you feel a pull\n-Lie on your back and have a partner take one leg( make sure you keep it streight) and pull it to you, pressing down on the toe and pulling up on the heel. Keep the othe leg on the ground. This is an uncomfortable stretch. It should only be uncomforatble pain, not searing pain. Stop if it is  really hurting. This one needs to be used only after an activity (running, swimming) when the muscles are warmed up.  \n\nHamstrings:\n- Stand and pull on leg behind you so that your foot is around your hip and pull your knee back untill you feel a stretch.\n- You can to the same on the ground, lieing down on you back (if you find it difficoult to keep your ballance)

put on a pair of mid calf white thick socks / thick wool ones work also.  wrap once from the bottom to the top without too many creases with duct tape, then place an old inner sole from one of your old shoes and wrap again with more duct tape.  that's what i'd do if you didn't have to have certain regulations or email me and my friends in houston will tell me how to get them or they may even have an extra pair

another good thing to do is to check in with a certain doctor (i am not sure what the name is ) but they make orthodics which are shoe inserts made for u so that they can help your stance, my legs and feet always hurt until i got custom orthodics, so along with the stretching and yoga this will help

I used strength shoes in 1990 which was the second version I think.  I followed the training regiment and it worked well for me.  I never did measure my verticle, but I was 6ft 210 pounds and went from barely touching the rim once in a while to being able to dunk 1 in 3 trys.  (8-10" increase?)  Try them - not too expensive.  Good Luck.

Create a little clear area, dig a hole in the ground then fill it with sand. Make a little wood border to hold the sand in (only for the back, left, and right side though, you need the front to be open)then stick a long metal pole into the sand and ground to it can hold steady when being hit with the shoes. Have fun!

Get your sneakers or most comfortable and flexible shoes, and find a step with something you can hang on to, you will need help with your balance: holding on to the rail, back of a chair, or whatever, place the ball of your feet ( from the center to the toes) on the step. Lower your heels slowly and then up on yor tiptoes counting to 3. lower slowly and repeat 8 times. do 3 series of these. Then you can try doing the same with your feet turned out (for the inner calves) and feet turned in (outer calves ). When you get stronger, try doing this exercise on only one foot at a time. Do these exercises on alternate days, to let your muscles rest and develope. You'll see results in two weeks. \nThe other alternative is surgery, which I would not recomend. These exercises work wonders. Walking and riding a bike also work well, these however isolate the muscles you are trying to develope.

Hi Vicky! \nLet a=32deg, p=patient’s weight, then f1=p*sin(a) is the force pulling him down along the sheet & f2=p*cos(a) is the force pressing him to the sheet, so when k is coefficient of friction, then \nat the moment to start slipping from the bed f1=k*f2, thus k=tg(a). the more k the more “adhesive” the patient feels.

I don't know the entire situation but I'll run some suggestions by you.There are alot of factors to be considered.I'm sure your Doctor is more aware than I am. There are different types of shoes,they have certain exercises,and foot cradles can be used.\nI once used a cardboard box as a foot cradle.I placed it under the mattress and the cover over the box, I had found some clean foam and put it inside the box so the feet would be upright instead of hanging down.The Doc said "Well  I'll be....." GOOD LUCK!!

Find someone with a soccer or rugby ball (local football club?) - it will more than likely have the same fitting. \n\nEven if they haven't got one they will probably know of somewhere you can get it inflated.\n\nFailing that - call your local gym and see if they can do it for you.

Depending on the location and severity of the toe fracture, the fracture may need to be reduced (put back into place) and splinted or casted. If there is an open wound near the injured toe, a tetanus shot and antibiotic medication may also be necessary. To decrease the swelling (and the pain), keep the foot raised above the level of the heart as much as possible. Prop the foot up on some pillows, especially when sleeping. Put ice in a plastic bag and apply it to the injury for 15-20 minutes every 1-2 hours for the first 1-2 days. Make sure to place a towel between the skin and the bag of ice to protect the skin. Avoid any strenuous exercise, prolonged standing, or walking.
