Role of the Abductor Hallucis and Tibialis Anterior Muscles during the Star Excursion Balance Test in Pes Rectus Pes Cavus and Pes Planus Individuals.

Investigating the Effect of Foot Structure and Fatigue on Dynamic Balance

Recruiting
18-30 years
All
Phase N/A

This study investigates how dynamic balance may vary among individuals based on their foot structure and levels of fatigue. Dynamic balance refers to the ability to maintain stability while moving, which can be influenced by various factors such as muscle strength and coordination. The purpose of this study is to compare how different foot arch types affect the activation of the abductor hallucis and tibialis anterior muscles during a balancing task.

Participants in this study will perform a dynamic balancing task. The activation levels of specific muscles, namely the abductor hallucis and tibialis anterior, will be measured. These muscles are important for foot movement and stability. The study aims to understand the differences in muscle activation among individuals with different foot arch structures.

  • Who can participate: Individuals aged 18 to 30 who are enrolled at Indiana University - Bloomington in at least 6 credit hours can participate. Participants must engage in at least 120 minutes of physical activity per week. Those with a history of lower leg fractures, surgeries, recent injuries, or neuromuscular conditions like MS or Parkinson's Disease are excluded.
  • Study details: Participants will be asked to perform a dynamic balancing task while muscle activation is measured. The focus will be on the abductor hallucis and tibialis anterior muscles, which are crucial for maintaining balance.

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
