Can a seizure cause a stress fracture of the foot?

Yes, a seizure can potentially lead to a stress fracture of the foot. During a seizure, uncontrolled muscle contractions and movements can result in abnormal forces being applied to the bones, which may lead to fractures, including stress fractures. Additionally, if a person falls during a seizure, the impact can cause acute fractures. However, stress fractures typically develop over time due to repetitive stress rather than a single event.

What are the common injuries associated with the bones in the lower leg and ankle?

Common injuries associated with the bones in the lower leg and ankle include fractures, sprains, strains, and stress fractures. Fractures are breaks in the bones, while sprains and strains involve damage to ligaments and muscles. Stress fractures are small cracks in the bones due to repetitive stress. These injuries can result from activities like sports, falls, or overuse.


How can exercise-related stress fractures be diagnosed with a tuning fork?

If an individual has increased pain when the tuning fork is placed on a bone, such as the tibia or shinbone, the likelihood of a stress fracture is high. Bone scans also are helpful in detecting stress fractures
