Summary

This study tested whether a small, handheld device (dynamometer) can accurately measure the strength of a key foot muscle in adults with flatfoot. Researchers compared results from the handheld tool to those from a large, specialized machine in 46 healthy adults. If proven reliable, the handheld tool could make muscle testing easier and more accessible in doctor's offices.
