Metatarsophalangeal (Joint) Sprain, Turf Toe
Conditions
Keywords
turf toe, Metatarsophalangeal Sprain, functional ability, gait parameters, kinesiology taping
Brief summary
kinesio taping would reduce pain, improve gait performance, and enhance the functional capacity of turf toe patients undergoing physical therapy
Detailed description
Health practitioners have recently become interested in using kinesiology taping in clinical practice as an alternative to traditional taping and bracing procedures for treating a variety of diseases, including sprain of metatarsophalangeal joint of the big toe. Patients with turf toe can benefit from kinesiology tape because it offers therapeutic support and stability while preserving a normal range of motion.
Interventions
OTHERTraditional physical therapy program
60-minutes exercise program, three times a week on alternate days for 12 successive weeks
OTHERKinsio taping
One full strip of kinesiology taping tape and one half-length strip were needed for the kinesiology taping application
OTHERplacebo Kinsio taping
One full strip of kinesiology taping tape and one half-length strip were needed for the placebo kinesiology taping application

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Pain visual analog scale | at first week | The degree of the pain was assessed using a 10-cm visual analog scale (VAS), with 0 denoting no pain and 10 denoting the most painful event. |
| Gait parameters (step length by centimeter). | at first week | The twelve computerized cameras of the VICON 3D motion analysis system were used to record gait data. |
| Gait parameters (stride length by meter). | at first week | The twelve computerized cameras of the VICON 3D motion analysis system were used to record gait data. |
| Gait parameters (cadence by steps per minute). | at first week | The twelve computerized cameras of the VICON 3D motion analysis system were used to record gait data. |
| Gait parameters (velocity by centimeter per second). | at first week | The twelve computerized cameras of the VICON 3D motion analysis system were used to record gait data. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Functional ability assessment | at first week | Functional ability was assessed using the 6-minute walk test. |
