Abstract:

Although relatively rare, nerve entrapments of the foot have been described in the literature. In such cases, however, they have typically been associated with a biopsy, or following surgery or trauma. This paper describes a patient with an apparent sural nerve entrapment related to running in the absence of the above-described situations. This case also describes the use of arch taping to aid diagnosis and guide subsequent treatment using foot orthoses.

Keywords:

Nerve entrapment; Foot orthotics
