Introduction
In general, meniscus injury with toe flexion is a foot injury caused by damage to the meniscus. The meniscus is located at the distal end of the foot bones and helps secrete, stabilize, and protect the foot joints. If the meniscus is injured, it may cause pain in the sole of the foot and lead to hallux valgus during movement.
Generally,勾脚 (toe flexion) is helpful for meniscus injuries. The details are as follows:
Meniscus injury-related toe flexion is a type of foot condition caused by damage to the meniscus. The meniscus is located at the distal end of the foot bones and helps secrete, stabilize, and protect the foot joints. If the meniscus is injured, it may cause pain in the sole of the foot and lead to hallux valgus (outward deviation of the big toe) during movement. Performing toe flexion exercises is currently one of the primary treatment methods for meniscus injuries. Toe flexion can effectively help alleviate symptoms. It reduces pain in the sole of the foot and strengthens the foot muscles, thereby minimizing excessive outward rolling of the foot during activity. To achieve optimal therapeutic results, patients should combine toe flexion with other treatments such as medication, exercise therapy, and physical therapy, while correctly performing the toe flexion technique as recommended.
In summary, toe flexion is beneficial for meniscus injuries, helping to relieve sole pain, strengthen foot muscles, and reduce foot pronation during movement. Additionally, early medical consultation is essential. Patients should follow professional medical advice to properly apply toe flexion techniques for protecting and treating meniscal injuries in the foot.
