The effect of interventions anticipated to improve plantar intrinsic foot muscle strength on fall‐related dynamic function in adults: a systematic review
Abstract Background The plantar intrinsic foot muscles (PIFMs) have a role in dynamic functions, such as balance and propulsion, which are vital to walking. These muscles atrophy in older adults and therefore this population, which is at high risk to falling, may benefit from strengthening these mus...
