Our Mission
The intrinsic foot muscles have been largely unexplored in healthcare and fitness research. In part, this is because they are difficult to measure and isolate from larger muscles in the lower legs and feet. However, through technology advancements and accessibility to clinicians, such as real-time ultrasound imaging, wireless electromyography (EMG), and strength measurement devices, we are now better able to explore these muscles. This may help determine the intrinsic foot muscles’ roles in foot function, effects beyond the feet such as posture, balance, and sports performance, and if our interventions to use and strengthen these muscles are effective.
