NCT ID: NCT05879094

Last Updated: 2023-06-05

Basic Information

• Recruitment Status: COMPLETED
• Clinical Phase: NA
• Total Enrollment: 25 participants

Brief Summary

The aim of this study is to simulate the orthopedic treatment called Morton's extension on non-deformed patients to check the effects on each metatarsal head on its static footprint.

Detailed Description

The objective of this study is to perform an assimilation of the orthopedic treatment called morton extension on non-deformed patients to verify the effects on each metatarsal head on its static footprint, specifically the mean pressures and before and after the application of the morton extension.

Study Groups

Morton extension

Experimental group con Morton Extension application

Group Type: EXPERIMENTAL

Morton extension

Intervention Type: OTHER

A Morton extension with a height of 5 mm was insert from the proximal area of the first metatarsal head to the base of the proximal phalanx of the Hallux of the subjects' bare feet using a paper bandage. The material, shape, size, and thickness of the Morton Extension were the same.
