Simple exercises may fix a common foot problem

NCT ID NCT05647616

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looked at whether a 4-week exercise program for a specific foot muscle (peroneus longus) could improve function in people whose first ray (a part of the foot) is stuck in an upward position. 70 adults with this condition were randomly assigned to either do the exercises or receive no treatment. The main goal was to see if the exercises increased pressure under the ball of the foot during walking, which would indicate better foot function.
