Department of Prosthetics and Orthotics, College of Suncheon First, Suncheon, Republic of Korea.
Objective: To compare the muscle activity of the abductor hallucis (AbdH) and the medial longitudinal arch (MLA) angle during toe curl (TC) and short foot (SF) exercises while sitting or in one-leg standing position.
Design: Two-way repeated-measures ANOVA was used to analyze the effects of exercise type and position on the muscle activity of the AbdH and the MLA angle.
Participants: Twenty subjects with normal feet participated in this study.

Department of Prosthetics and Orthotics, College of Suncheon First, Republic of Korea.
Study Design: Controlled laboratory study.
Objectives: To examine the effects of standing wall stretching with and without medial arch support (WMAS versus WOMAS) on the displacement of the myotendinous junction (DMTJ) of the medial gastrocnemius, rearfoot angle, and navicular height in subjects with neutral foot alignment and pes planus.
Background: Standing wall stretching is often prescribed to increase ankle dorsiflexion range of motion for sports fitness and rehabilitation.
