abstract="The long-term consequences of falanga are probably the best described consequences of exposure to specific forms of physical torture. Theories about casual lesions in the peripheral tissues of the feet have been put forward based on clinical observations along with international guidelines for the clinical assessment, but still knowledge is needed in several areas. A review of the literature on falanga is presented, mainly focusing on the clinical aspects and possible lesions caused by this specific form of torture that may influence the overall management of the condition. Finally, the article closes with a call for future research, which is needed in order to advance a knowledge-based development of the applied clinical practice.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
