This report describes a variation of the tendinous slip of the flexor digitorum longus (FDL) for the great toe. In addition, compositions of the long flexor tendons for all five toes were examined. The tendons of the FDL in the foot were investigated in 66 specimens of embalmed Korean adult cadavers. The tendons of the flexor hallucis longus (FHL) and the FDL with the lumbrical muscles were cut at the calcaneus and the metatarsophalangeal joints and were removed en bloc specifically to observe the FDL and the FHL tendons of the great toe. The tendinous slip of the FDL for the great toe was found bilaterally in the foot of a 52-year-old male. Its prevalence was two of 66 specimens (3.0%). The tendinous slip of the FDL for the great toe passed forward the great toe, and it constituted the superficial portion of the long flexor tendon for the great toe. The tendon of the FHL passed forward to constitute the deep portion of the long flexor tendon for the great toe. Thus, both the tendinous slip of the FDL and the tendon of the FHL composed the long flexor tendon for the great toe. The tendinous slip of the FDL and the tendon of the FHL for the great toe were similar in thickness; thus, each tendinous slip of the FDL and the tendon of the FHL were approximately one-half of the long flexor tendon for the great toe in thickness. The present study demonstrated an anatomical variation of the interconnection between the FHL and the FDL tendons, which will be useful for various surgeries and biomechanical research.

본 연구는 발가락 벌림 보조기(toe spreader)가 긴장성 발가락 굽힘 반사(Tonic Toe Flexion Reflex: TTFR)가 있는 양하지 뇌성마비 아동의 보행에 미치는 영향을 알아보고자 하였다. 12명의 TTFR이 있는 양하지 뇌성마비 아동을 대상으로 같은 날에 맨발과 발가락 벌림 보조기를 착용한 상태에서 보행분석을 실시하였다. 시간 거리 보행변수로 활보장(step length), 보장(step length), 보폭(step width), 발가락 외전각도(toe out angle), 활보시간(stride), 입각기(stance phase), 유각기(swing phase), 분속수(cadence), 보행속도(speed)를 측정하였다. 발가락 벌림 보조기 착용 시 시간 거리 보행변수는 통계적으로는 유의한 차이가 없었다(p>.05). 양하지 뇌성마비 아동에서 TTFR을 억제하기 위한 발가락 벌림 보조기의 즉시적인 효과는 유의하지 않다고 볼 수 있으며, 추후연구로 장기간 일상생활에서의 지속적인 착용을 통한 연구가 필요하다고 본다.

Modern people are suffering from a lack of exercise along with their daily lives, and the foot's pedigree disease is increasing as a result, foot pedigree disease is also increasing. As a result, the design of socks is diversifying, and among them, the development of toe socks that help prevent and alleviate foot problems is also actively underway. Thus, this study conducted a study on toe socks design and summarized the concept of toe socks design through theoretical background. It also established tasks to be used for usability evaluation through case studies and prior research. An empirical study showed that the satisfaction of toe socks design was lower than that of ordinary socks, and that of toe socks design was more satisfactory in terms of usability. As a result, improvements in toe sock design have been derived, and it is expected that the hidden partitions between first toe sock can be supplemented, and toe sock design can be improved through similar color scheme and color diversification.

본 논문에서는 기존의 손에서 측정하는 PPG를 발가락에서 측정하여 지속적인 무자각적 측정이 가능함을 제안한다. 발가락에서의 측정은 손이 자유로워져 일상 업무에 영향을 끼치지 않으면서 고정하기 유용하기 때문에 보다 상황에 맞는 정확한 파형 검출이 가능하다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 발가락에서의 측정 가능성을 확인한 후 소형 device 제작 및 실험을 통해 손과 발에서 PPG를 측정, 비교하여 발가락에서도 PPG 파형 검출이 가능함을 보인다.

This study was to evaluate the effects of foot strengthening exercise to improve hallux valgus in young of hallux valgus with flexible flatfoot. Subjects 28 people were randomly divided by the foot strength group(n=14) and control group(n=14). In a period of 8 weeks, they put on I.D.W. Experimental group took foot strengthening exercise for 20 minutes 3 times a week during 8 weeks. Foot structure and max pressure were evaluated by hallux angle, 1~2 metatarsal angle, navicular height, 1st phalange, 2~5phalange, 1st metatarsal, 2nd metatarsal, 3rd metatarsal, 4th metatarsal, 5th metatarsal, mid foot, medial hind foot, lateral hind foot. There were significantly increased by exercise group in outcomes of the structural and plantar foot pressure from hallux angle, 1~2 metatarsal angle, 1st phalange, 1st metatarsal, 2nd metatarsal, 3rd metatarsal, mid foot. The result suggest that foot strengthening exercise is feasible and suitable for individuals with hallux valgus with flexible flatfoot.

We undertook this study to determine the plantar pressure distribution characteristics of hallux valgus, major increasing foot disease. Twenty three valgus Patients were evaluated with clinical examinations, radiologic studies and dynamic plantar pressure distribution measurements. The present study also suggested a masking method for detailed analyses on plantar pressure distribution measurements. With higher grade of hallux valgus, pressure, contact area, and impulse on metartasus are significantly increased Pressure concentration is very important in foot diseases and an approximate plantar pressure distribution should be considered on any shoe design.

본 연구는 기능성 및 일반적 캐쥬얼화간에 빠른보행과 편안한 보행 시 족저 압력에 미치는 영향을 확인하여 보고자 한다. 남성 물리치료사 8명을 대상으로 하루 간격을 두고 동일한 대상에게 일반적 캐쥬얼화와 기능성 캐쥬얼화를 착용하고 10m 편안한 보행과 빠른 보행 동안 족저 악력을 각각 측정하였다. 전체, 1번째 발가락, 2-3번째 발가락, 4-5번째 발가락, 안쪽 중족골, 바깥쪽 중족골, 안쪽 뒷꿈치, 바깥쪽 뒷꿈치로 나누어 분석하여 4 보행 조건(일반적 캐쥬얼화-편안한 보행, 기능성 캐쥬얼화-편안한 보행, 일반적 캐쥬얼화-빠른 보행, 기능성 캐쥬얼화-빠른 보행) 간에 비교하였다. 비교 분석 결과 유의하지 않지만 빠른 보행이 편안한 보행 보다 안쪽 발가락과 뒷꿈치 압력이 증가하는 것으로 볼 때, 기능성 캐주얼화가 일반적 캐쥬얼화보다 보행의 움직임성을 증가시키는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

The accessory tendon of the extensor hallucis longus is a common type of extensor hallucis longus variation. This is a case of a 38-year-old female patient who initially considered conservative treatment for a suspected partial rupture, but finally underwent surgery after being diagnosed with a complete rupture of the main tendon and accessory tendon medial to the main tendon on MRI scan.

The Sample was consist of 216 female adults who were selected with my convenience from residing women in and around Seoul, Korea. The result were as fellowing; According to the factor analysis of their foot discomfort, it is divided into 3 factors: the discomfort of whole body (factor 1), the discomfort of foot sole (factor 2), and the discomfort of toes (factor 3). And the foot part of discomfort is more frequent in the order of the big toe, 2·3 metatarsal bones, and the little toe. As the age gets older, the discomfort of foot sole and toes are reported more frequently, and, particularly, more student and office employees have the discomfort of whole body while more sales women and housewives have the discomfort of foot sole. In terms of the shoe types, the higher the hill height, the more the discomfort of foot sole with wearing the sharp toe. As the wearing time is longer, the discomfort of foot sole increases. Being related to the from patterns, the broad and short type has more of the discomfort of foot sole, the flat foot feel more discomfort from the entire body and the sole. Walking with leaning toward the frontal the discomfort on toes and sole increases.
