  1. CSA of each plantar intrinsic and extrinsic muscle, and their calculated maximum muscle force (Fmax). All data are expressed as means ± standard deviation (S.D.).
  2. MED: medial parts of plantar intrinsic muscles, LAT: lateral parts of plantar intrinsic muscles, ADH:adductor hallucis muscle, FHL: flexor hallucis longus muscle , and FDL: flexor digitorum longus muscle.
