ABSTRACT

Objectives: The ankle joint and first metatarsophalangeal joint have been widely discussed in the literature given their importance during the course of gait as a fundamental part of proximal to distal load shifting and their possible relationship when performing that function. The aim of this study is to test if there is a relationship between the degrees of dorsal flexion of both joints during the course of human gait.
Patients and methods: The study consisted of 29 adult subjects without the presence of lower limb pathology. Foot posture was classified using the foot posture index. Using the Lunge test and the Dananberg test, the degrees of dorsal flexion of the ankle and first metatarsophalangeal joint in static were established. The dynamic measurement was carried out by means of a 2D recording of the subjects gait cycle, which was subsequently analyzed using Kinovea® video analysis software.
Results: The degrees of dorsal flexion of the ankle and first metatarsophalangeal joint in dynamics did not show a significant linear relationship. Regarding foot posture, no significant linear relationship was found with the previous measurements.
Conclusion: The present study shows the absence of a relationship between the degrees of dorsal flexion of the ankle and first metatarsophalangeal joint in dynamics. It would be advisable to continue investigating the mechanical behavior of both joints in order to fully understand their function and reach definitive conclusions.

RESUMEN

Objetivos: La articulación del tobillo y la primera articulación metatarsofalángica han sido ampliamente tratadas en la literatura dada su importancia durante el transcurso de la marcha como parte fundamental del desplazamiento de cargas, de proximal a distal, y su posible relación la hora de realizar dicha función. El objetivo de este estudio es comprobar si existe una relación entre los grados de flexión dorsal de ambas articulaciones durante el trascurso de la marcha humana.
Pacientes y métodos: El estudio se compone de 29 sujetos adultos sin presencia de patología en el miembro inferior. La postura del pie se clasificó mediante el índice de postura del pie. Mediante el test de Lunge y el test de Dananberg se establecieron los grados de flexión dorsal de tobillo y primera articulación metatarsofalángica en estática. La medición dinámica se llevó a cabo mediante una grabación en 2D del ciclo de marcha de los sujetos; posteriormente se analizó mediante el software de análisis de vídeo Kinovea®.
Resultados: Los grados de flexión dorsal de tobillo y primera articulación metatarsofalángica en dinámica no mostraron una relación lineal significativa. Respecto a la postura del pie tampoco se encontró una relación lineal significativa con las mediciones anteriores.
Conclusión: El presente estudio muestra la ausencia de relación entre los grados de flexión dorsal de tobillo y la primera articulación metatarsofalángica en dinámica. Sería recomendable seguir investigando el comportamiento mecánico de ambas articulaciones con el fin de entender completamente el funcionamiento de estas y llegar a conclusiones definitivas.
