In today's episode of the PT on ICE Daily Show, Endurance Athlete division leader Megan Peach discusses the range of motion required in the first metatarsal phalangeal (MTP) joint for endurance running. Megan explains the mechanics of the MTP joint during the stance phase of running, emphasizing that only about 30 degrees of extension is necessary during the initial loading phase (0-20% of stance) to prevent trips and falls. She aims to provide listeners with a clear understanding of the essential range of motion needed for runners recovering from injuries, ensuring they can safely return to the sport.
