Effects of First Metatarsophalangeal Osteoarthritis on Plantar Pressures Across Multiple Activities
ABSTRACT Background The first metatarsophalangeal joint (MTPJ1) is one of the sites most often affected by osteoarthritis (OA). The condition contributes to activity restrictions and reduced quality of life along with biomechanical changes that affect the joint and beyond. Despite this, previous studies have presented limited evidence of alterations in
