Muscular contributions mediate the windlass effect in human feet

Este artigo tem acesso aberto
Abstract Summary
The windlass mechanism is thought a key part of human foot form and function. Previously considered a passive tensioning of the plantar aponeurosis, we provide evidence that ankle plantar flexor, and plantar intrinsic foot muscles actively mediate the windlass mechanism and metatarsal-phalangeal joint (MTPJ) stiffness.
