1)Comparison of foot injuries in runners with different types of shoes (ie: barefoot vs. cushioned)
2) etiology of Peroneal Tendonits/post tib tendonitis
3) treatment algorithims for ankle sprains (ie: implementation of the Ottawa Ankle rules)

Tarsal tunnel or plantar fasciitis.

Both are clinically relevant and seen frequently in practice.

Agree with Steve plantar fasciitis is super common or maybe mortons neuroma.

Ive done alot of tarsal tunnel edx screens and never seen the mythic beast

Don't like the way the leg works after peroneal injury?

Make it different.

For plantar fasciitis look into the windlass effect/mechanism. Should help you delve into the biomechanics associated with the problem.
