简要总结
The principal aim of this study is to investigate the effects of a four-week foot strenghtening protocol combining active voluntary exercises and assisted-active voluntary exercises by neuromuscular electrical stimulation on hallux toe flexion strength in comparison to a standard foot strengthening protocol in a healthy adult recreational active population.
The secondary objectives of the study are to investigate the effects of this protocol on lesser toes flexor strength, foot morphology deformation in one, two and three dimensions and kinetic parameters when walking and running.

结局指标
主要结局
Change in Hallux flexion strength
时间窗: All measures will be collected on both feet 1 week prior the treatment and 1 week after the last intervention session
Hallux flexion strength will be assessed by a MicroFET2 Handheld Digital Dynamometer in hook lying position. The strength will be normalized by bodyweight (N/kg).
次要结局
- Change in Lesser toe flexion strength(All measures will be collected on both feet 1 week prior the treatment and 1 week after the last intervention session)
- Change in Running and walking kinetics : Stiffness parameter(All measures will be collected on both feet 1 week prior the treatment and 1 week after the last intervention session)
- Change in Running and walking kinetics : Pressure parameter(All measures will be collected on both feet 1 week prior the treatment and 1 week after the last intervention session)
- Change in Running and walking kinetics : Time parameters(All measures will be collected on both feet 1 week prior the treatment and 1 week after the last intervention session)
- Change in Foot morphological deformation(All measures will be collected on both feet 1 week prior the treatment and 1 week after the last intervention session)
- Change in Running and walking kinetics : Force parameters(All measures will be collected on both feet 1 week prior the treatment and 1 week after the last intervention session)
- Change in Running and walking kinetics : Distance parameters(All measures will be collected on both feet 1 week prior the treatment and 1 week after the last intervention session)
- Change in Running and walking kinetics : Frequency parameter(All measures will be collected on both feet 1 week prior the treatment and 1 week after the last intervention session)
