Accepts healthy volunteers: yes
Allocation: NON_RANDOMIZED
Intervention model: PARALLEL
Intervention model description: Sex research
Primary purpose: TREATMENT

Brief summary: The aim of this study is to simulate the orthopedic treatment called Morton's extension on non-deformed patients to check the different effects producted by sex in footprint.

Detailed description: The objective of this study is to perform an assimilation of the orthopedic treatment called morton extension on non-deformed patients to verify the difference effects due by sex on each metatarsal head and rearfoot on its static footprint, and plantar pressures variables in dynamic footprint.

Eligibility criteria: Inclusion Criteria:

* no history of trauma to the foot;
* the presence of at least 10° of dorsiflexion at the ankle with the knee fully dorsiflexed;
* unrestricted motion of the functional subtalar joint of 30°;
* unrestricted motion along the longitudinal axis of the midtarsal joint of 15°;
* unrestricted nonweight-bearing motion of the first ray of at least 8 mm;
* greater than 50° of dorsiflexion of the hallux to the first metatarsal bisection during nonweight-bearing;
* age greater than 18 years and younger than 60 years;
* at the time of data collection, no lower limb dysfunction or chronic injury; and
* no evidence of a non-fixed deformity at first metatarsophalangeal and first metatarsal cuneiform joints.

Exclusion Criteria:

* plantar corns and calluses,
* hallux valgus and lesser toe deformities,
* diabetes,
* any abnormality in the lower extremity that may affect gait.
