Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to review how strengthening intrinsic foot muscles impacts lower limb injuries, foot posture, and self-reported function.
- A thorough search of various scientific databases was conducted to find relevant clinical trials published up to April 2023 concerning foot musculature and lower limb injuries.
- Ultimately, the review found that strengthening these muscles significantly improved the height of the medial longitudinal arch in the foot, indicating positive biomechanical changes.
The study had the goal to study the relationship between resilience, stress and injuries in the sport context. Eight female athletes, part of the Rhythmic Gymnastics Brazilian Team along the Olympic Cycle 2015-2016 participated in the study, with a mean age of 20.4±2.

Background: Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) disease is part of a group of genetically determined neuropathies. The intrinsic muscles of the feet and legs are affected early in the disease, impacting balance and mobility.
Research Question: The purpose of this study was to evaluate individuals with type 2 Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease to understand how motor changes interfere in balance and function.
