Abstract

Background: The intrinsic foot muscles are vital for maintaining normal foot function. This study was conducted to systematically review the literature on the functional capacity and morphological characteristics of the intrinsic foot muscles in subjects with Hallux Valgus (HV) deformity. Methods: A search was carried out in all available electronic databases, including Pub Med, Scopus, Embase and Web of Science, for identifying any relevant studies published from 1990 to October 2018. Results: Three studies had investigated intrinsic foot muscle size using ultrasound imaging; two had reported electromyography parameters and four had measured the muscle force capacity. The results of the present review suggested that the functional capacity and morphological characteristics of intrinsic foot muscles are different in subjects with HV compared to those without this deformity. Conclusion: This review found scientific evidence on muscle performance impairment in the abductor hallucis and flexor hallucis brevis in subjects with HV deformity. © 2020 Elsevier Ltd
