Abstract

[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to clarify the effect of step length on toe weight-bearing and motion in the metatarsophalangeal joint. [Subjects] Nineteen young male volunteers without lower limb injuries participated in this study. [Method] A three-dimensional motion analysis system and force platform were used to examine toe weight-bearing and the metatarsophalangeal joint extension angle during gait. The subjects were asked to walk using three step lengths: short, natural, and long. [Results] Toe weight-bearing and the metatarsophalangeal joint extension angle were at maximum at the beginning of the pre-swing phase. Both values increased significantly with increasing step length. [Conclusions] These results indicated that the influence of step length and gait velocity on toe weight-bearing and motion of the metatarsophalangeal joint. Sufficient range of motion and flexor moment at the metatarsophalangeal joint are important toe functions. <br>
