Abstract

Background: Foot and toe function is important for not only sports performance but also preventing and treating musculoskeletal disorders. Although strengthening training specific to intrinsic and extrinsic muscles has been recommended, insufficient information is available in toe exercises in their variation and evidences compared to shoulder or lumbopelvic training strategies. The aim was to examine the effects of a newly developed foot muscle exercise program on toe function in individuals during the growth period. This is a single-group, pretest-posttest case series.

Methods: Both feet of seven male patients in their growth period with sports-related overuse injuries of the lower extremities (mean age, 11 years) underwent a four-week strength exercise of the toes, consisting of intrinsic and extrinsic muscle-targeted exercises. Main outcome measures were as follows: 1) flexion force of each toe; 2) compression force of each toe; 3) dexterity of the toes evaluated using the "rock-paper-scissors test"; 4) toe loading during single-leg squat exercise. An F-scan system was used to measure 2 and 4.

Results: All patients performed the program appropriately and completed the program for four weeks. Significant improvements were observed in the outcome measures of 1 to 4.

Conclusions: The combined exercise program for the intrinsic and extrinsic muscles of the foot effectively improved toe strength, dexterity, and loading during dynamic motion and could be easily performed in individuals during the growth period.

新开发的脚趾锻炼计划结合内在和外在肌肉训练对脚趾功能的影响:一个病例系列。
背景:足和趾的功能不仅对运动表现很重要,而且对预防和治疗肌肉骨骼疾病也很重要。虽然针对内在和外在肌肉的强化训练已被推荐,但与肩部或腰椎训练策略相比,脚趾锻炼在其变化和证据方面的信息不足。我们的目的是研究新开发的足部肌肉锻炼计划对生长期个体脚趾功能的影响。这是一个单组、前测-后测的病例系列:方法:七名处于生长期的下肢运动相关过劳损伤男性患者(平均年龄 11 岁)的双脚接受了为期四周的脚趾力量锻炼,包括内在和外在肌肉靶向锻炼。主要结果指标如下1)每个脚趾的屈伸力;2)每个脚趾的压缩力;3)使用 "石头剪刀布测试 "评估脚趾的灵活性;4)单腿深蹲运动时脚趾的负荷。F扫描系统用于测量2和4:结果:所有患者都适当地执行了该计划,并完成了为期四周的计划。结论:针对内在肌群的综合锻炼计划能有效改善患者的运动能力:结论:足部内在和外在肌肉的综合锻炼计划能有效改善脚趾的力量、灵活性和动态运动时的负荷,而且对处于生长期的人来说很容易实施。
