Tarsal tunnel syndrome (TTS) is sometimes referred to as “tibial nerve dysfunction” or “posterior tibial nerve neuralgia.” This condition is an entrapment neuropathy associated with the compression of tarsal tunnel structures. TTS may be considered carpal tunnel syndrome’s counterpart at the ankle, though this lower limb condition is much less common.TTS can mimic more frequently encountered clinical entities like diabetic neuropathy and plantar fasciitis. Inaccurate diagnosis and inappropriate management can produce complications such as foot deformities and functional impairment. This activity for healthcare workers is designed to enhance learners’ competence in evaluating and managing TTS. This activity is also intended to equip learners to collaborate effectively with an interprofessional team caring for patients with TTS.
