Biomechanical gait analysis and rehabilitation in a traumatic hallux deficit patient: a case report.
Article in Journal of medical case reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundThe hallux plays a crucial role in maintaining standing balance and facilitating forward and backward movements during gait. CASE PRESENTATION: A 21-year-old Japanese patient, suffering from a traumatic hallux deficit with only a portion of the basal phalanx intact, underwent rehabilitation treatment. The thenar area exhibited instability, leading to impaired balance and walking difficulties. Biomechanical assessment revealed the need for a rehabilitation strategy for the foot, as well as the knee, hip, and trunk. A rehabilitation protocol was designed to enhance medial foot loading during walking and standing, including balance and trunk strength training. After a 12-week rehabilitation period, the patient's gait showed significant improvement. Specifically, the load response and single-support phases of the gait cycle on the affected side increased from 46.9% to 49.3%, while the pre-swing phase decreased from 14.6% to 11.6%. The vertical component of the ground reaction force rose from 599.8 to 647.5 N. The enhanced stability from balance training and increased muscle strength contributed to the patient's improved walking and balance.
conclusionA patient with a traumatic hallux deficit underwent conservative treatment through strategic rehabilitation according to biomechanical assessment. This case report underscores the value of biomechanical gait analysis in the conservative management of similar conditions.
