This systematic review aimed to analyse the effects of intrinsic foot muscle (IFM) training on
foot function and dynamic postural balance. Keywords related to IFM training were used to …

Background Ultrasonography can discriminate between intrinsic and extrinsic foot muscle
properties and has therefore gained considerable popularity as an indirect strength …

The plantar fascia and intrinsic foot muscles (IFM) modulate foot stiffness. However, it is
unclear whether the corresponding ultrasonography findings reflect it. This study aimed to …

Background The effect of foot, especially intrinsic muscles, on postural control and its related
mechanisms remain unclear due to the complex structure. Therefore, this study aims to …

Background: Competitive adolescent athletes should be aware of the early signs of chronic
ankle instability (CAI) and the connection between the condition and performance. Purpose …

Background: Foot malalignment can augment the risk of lower-extremity injuries and lead to
musculoskeletal disorders. This study aimed to clarify the contribution of rearfoot alignment …

Background: Chronic ankle instability (CAI) in soccer players can increase the risk of
recurrent ankle varus sprains and damage the articular surface of the ankle joint, thus …

Introduction The risk of falls among the elderly significantly increases, which has become a
serious public health concern. Falls can not only lead to serious complications such as …

Purpose We believe that toe pressure strength in the standing position, which is closer to the
actual movement, is more associated with standing up in the older adults than the …

Background The characteristics of foot structure in adolescents and adults are different,
affecting sports performance and leading to the progression of foot and lower extremity …
