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.
鞭笞的长期后果可能是遭受特定形式身体折磨后描述得最为详尽的后果。基于临床观察以及临床评估的国际准则,人们已经提出了关于足部外周组织偶然损伤的理论,但在若干领域仍需更多了解。本文对有关鞭笞的文献进行了综述,主要聚焦于这一特定折磨形式所导致的临床方面及可能出现的损伤,这些损伤可能会影响该病症的整体治疗。最后,文章呼吁开展未来研究,这对于推动基于知识的临床应用实践发展而言是必要的。
