New study tests two Non-Surgical approaches to help athletes with stiff big toes
NCT ID NCT07692113
First seen Jul 09, 2026 · Last updated Jul 10, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study compares two treatments—kinetic control retraining and dynamic taping—added to standard care for athletes with functional hallux limitus, a condition that limits big toe movement. The goal is to see which approach better improves toe flexibility, strength, running form, and jump performance while also preventing lower limb injuries. The trial includes 90 intermediate to professional indoor sports athletes aged 18 to 35.

- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could provide athletes with effective, non-surgical options to improve big toe mobility and reduce injury risk.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage trial with 90 participants, so results may not apply to all athletes. The interventions may not outperform standard treatment.
