Fatigue of the intrinsic foot core muscles had a greater effect on gait than extrinsic foot core muscles: A time-series based analyze.
Foot 2024 March 16
BACKGROUND: The Heel Rise endurance (HRE) which indicates the extrinsic foot core (ECO) muscle's performance and the paper grip endurance (PGE) which indicates the intrinsic foot core (ICO) muscle's performance are essential components of a healthy foot function. However, the foot core muscles' fatigue response on spatial and temporal gait parameters after the HRE and the PGE tests were not adequately investigated. The purpose of this study was to determine whether the fatigue of the ICO and the ECO muscles affect gait parameters.
MATERIAL AND METHODS: A prospective, cross-sectional study was conducted on 22 sedentary individuals (44 feet). Gait was investigated pre and after the Heel Rise (HR) endurance test and the paper grip (PG) endurance test by inertial sensors. At least 500 consecutive steps were collected for each individual. Spatial-temporal gait parameters were used as outcome measures.
RESULTS: ECO fatigue and ICO fatigue led to increases in the step length (p < 0.05) and the stride lengths (p < 0.05), the single support (p < 0.05), and the terminal stance durations (p < 0.05). It was also seen that ICO fatigue had a greater effect on gait than ECO fatigue. The ECO fatigue had a medium to large effect on the gait parameters (d=0.313-0.646). The ICO fatigue affected gait with a large effect (d=0.524-2.048).
CONCLUSION: The ECO fatigue and the ICO fatigue led to clinically important changes in long-range gait parameters and the ICO fatigue had a greater effect on gait than ECO fatigue. It was suggested that clinicians add ICO muscle endurance training to improve the physical performance of individuals.
