Turf Toe is a joint strain of your great toe MTP Joint, caused by hyperextension.
Research Methods
Sixty patients with turf toe were assigned randomly into three treatment groups;
- KT applied alongside an exercise program
- Placebo* taping plus exercise
- Exercise only
Tape applied as shown with 50% stretch (not the through the ends).
*Placebo tape applied with 0% stretch.
Outcome Measurements: Pain, gait parameters, and functional ability assessed using VAS, 3D gait analysis, and 6MWT respectively pre- and post-treatment.
*Placebo tape applied with 0% stretch.
Outcome Measurements: Pain, gait parameters, and functional ability assessed using VAS, 3D gait analysis, and 6MWT respectively pre- and post-treatment.
Results
- Significant post-treatment decrease in VAS score in the KT group
- Significant increase in 6MWT distance in the KT group
- Significant increase in step length, stride length, cadence and velocity of KT group
- There was no significant difference in gait parameters between control and placebo groups post treatment (p > 0.05).
