No results posted yet for this study

Summary

While walking, fatigue, sensorimotor function and motor control can affect in many ways. This research focuses on the relationship between foot core muscles with balance and gait parameters. The main purpose of the project is to investigate the effect of the endurance and fatigue responses of the extrinsic and intrinsic foot core muscles and the isolated fatigue response of the tibialis posterior muscle on balance and gait parameters.

Conditions

  • Gait Stability, Postural Stability

Interventions

OTHER

Heel-Rise Test

The Heel Rise test for endurance will be performed while the participant stands on a box with 10 ° inclination on one leg. Participants will be allowed to get support from the wall at the point at shoulder level with two fingertips in order to maintain balance. A metronome of 30 beats per minute will be used to maintain the heel-rise frequency every 2 seconds. The participant will be asked to rise as high as possible with each heel rise, then lower the heel to the starting position, and with the next warning, he/she will be asked again. The participant will be asked to adapt to the pace of the metronome as much as possible and to continue the test as much as possible. The test will be terminated when the participant stops, fails to maintain frequency, or performs a proper heel raise. The number of heel raises obtained at the end of the test will be used for data analysis.

OTHER

Paper Grip Test (PGT)

In the paper grip test, a paper is placed under the individual's thumb and the person is asked to squeeze this paper strongly between the big toe and the ground. The paper is pulled by the person performing the test and the individual is asked to hold the paper with his/her thumb as much as he/she can. When the person applies the maximum force, the height of the medial longitudinal arch is measured with a digital caliper in millimeters. The time that the individual can maintain the MLA height with this maximum force is recorded with a stopwatch.
