dc.description.abstract | Background The hallux dorsiflexion resistance test is a frequently employed clinical maneuver for assessing the ini
tiation of the windlass mechanism This maneuver involves dorsiflexion of the phalanx of the hallux, thereby evaluat
ing plantarflexion of the first metatarsal, elevation of the medial longitudinal arch, and supination of the rearfoot.
The windlass mechanism plays a crucial role in gait, and orthopedic devices, such as a kinetic wedge, which aims
to facilitate its activation by increasing the hallux dorsiflexion. Although it is believed that facilitating the windlass
mechanism with the kinetic wedge should be directly correlated with a decrease in hallux dorsiflexion resistance, its
effects have yet to be characterized. Thus, this study aimed to determine the influence of a kinetic wedge on hallux
dorsiflexion resistance in asymptomatic individuals.
Methods The sample comprised thirty participants (14 women and 16 men). A digital force gauge measured
the force required to perform the hallux dorsiflexion resistance test during two conditions: barefoot and with a kinetic
wedge. The Wilcoxon signed‑rank test was used to compare the hallux dorsiflexion resistance between conditions.
Results A statistically significant reduction in force (10.54 ± 3.16N vs. 19.62 ± 5.18N, p < 0.001) was observed
when using the kinetic wedge compared to the barefoot condition during the hallux dorsiflexion resistance test.
Conclusion The use of a kinetic wedge reduces the required force for performing the passive hallux dorsiflexion
resistance test in asymptomatic individuals. Future studies should determine to what extent the kinetic wedge can
attenuate the required force to dorsiflex the hallux in individuals with musculoskeletal disorders such as plantar fascio
pathy and functional hallux limitus. | es |
