The aim was to critically evaluate the literature investigating strength training interventions in
the treatment of plantar fasciitis and improving intrinsic foot musculature strength. A search …

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 …

Context: Pes planus is a prevalent chronic condition that causes foot pain, disability, and
impaired plantar load distribution. Short-foot exercises are often recommended to strengthen …

Context: The intrinsic foot muscles maintain the medial longitudinal arch and aid in force
distribution and postural control during gait. Impaired intrinsic foot-muscle function has been …

Background: There is little scientific evidence regarding the effectiveness of strengthening
exercises on the foot's intrinsic musculature in improving the lower limb on the statics and …

BACKGROUND: Studies on the effects of performing short foot exercises (SFEs) on the
medial longitudinal arch (MLA) have been inconclusive. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to …

Purpose This study aimed to determine the differences in foot muscle morphology and 3D
multisegmental foot kinematics during walking between symptomatic and asymptomatic …

This study investigated the effectiveness of an 8-week foot-core exercise training program
on foot-ankle kinematics during running and also on running kinetics (impact loads), with …

Objective To critically assess the literature focused on strength training of the intrinsic foot
muscles (IFMs) and resulting improvements in foot function. Data Sources A search of …

Although the connection between muscular strength and flatfoot condition is well-
established, the impact of corrective exercises on these muscles remains inadequately …
