Despite the general population rarity, marcher’s digitalgia paresthetica is significantly common among the special military contingent, athletes and tourists.</p><p><bold>Aim</bold>. To assess the prevalence of medial digital nerve neuropathy among military personnel and to identify possible factors contributing to its development.</p><p><bold>Materials and methods</bold>. The study involved 125 male servicemen of the Russian Federation, with an average age 37 (37–40) years. A neurological examination was performed with a detailed assessment of sensory disorders in the lower extremities, electroneuromyography and ultrasound examination of the leg nerves.</p><p><bold>Results.</bold> In 83 cases, or 66 (55–76) %, of digitalgia paresthetica were identified. Among them asymptomatic – 51 people, or 61 (47–74) %. In 27 cases – 33 (21–47) % – violation of sensitivity was observed on one side. The maximum area of violation of the sensitivity of the innervation of the medial‑plantar surface of the big toes was determined in 57 cases – 68 (55–80) %. At the same time, in 14 (6–25) % of the examined, the distal part of the second toe was additionally involved.</p><p><bold>Conclusion.</bold> In our study, the hypothesis about the influence of the type of footwear, the average daily duration of wearing and the frequency of its forced removal on the likelihood of developing paresthetic digitalgia was not confirmed. It is important that doctors are informed about the possible development of this neuropathy and its benign course.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p><bold>Введение.</bold> Маршевая парестетическая дигиталгия является невропатией медиального подошвенного собственного пальцевого нерва (<italic>nervus digitalis plantaris proprii medialis halluci</italic>) и в некоторых случаях осложняется формированием невромы Джоплина. Несмотря на общую популяционную редкость, маршевая парестетическая дигиталгия – частая патология у военнослужащих, спортсменов и туристов.</p><p><bold>Цель исследования</bold> – оценить распространенность невропатии медиального собственного пальцевого нерва среди военнослужащих и определить возможные факторы, способствующие ее развитию.</p><p><bold>Материалы и методы</bold>. Обследовано 125 военнослужащих Российской Федерации мужского пола, средний возраст – 37 (37–40) лет. Выполнены неврологический осмотр с детальной оценкой расстройств чувствительности в нижних конечностях, электронейромиография и ультразвуковое исследование нервов нижних конечностей. Результаты. Выявлено 83 случая, или 66 (55–76) %, парестетической дигиталгии. Из них бессимптомных – 51 человек, или 61 (47–74) %. В 27 случаях, что составило 33 (21–47) %, нарушение чувствительности наблюдалось с 1 стороны. Максимальная площадь нарушения чувствительности на медиально‑подошвенной поверхности больших пальцев стоп отмечена у 57 мужчин, или в 68 (55–80) % случаев. При этом у 14 (6–25) % обследуемых дополнительно вовлекался дистальный отдел II пальца стопы.</p><p><bold>Выводы.</bold> Основным механизмом, приводящим к развитию маршевой парестетической дигиталгии, является хроническая микротравматизация медиального подошвенного собственного пальцевого нерва. В нашем исследовании не подтвердилась гипотеза о влиянии на вероятность развития парестетической дигиталгии вида обуви, среднесуточной продолжительности ношения и частоты ее снятия. Важной является информированность врачей о возможном развитии данной невропатии и ее доброкачественном течении.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>marching neuropathy</kwd><kwd>plantar nerve</kwd><kwd>foot</kwd><kwd>nerve entrapment neuropathies</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>маршевая невропатия</kwd><kwd>стопа</kwd><kwd>пальцевая невропатия</kwd><kwd>подошвенный нерв</kwd><kwd>компрессионные невропатии</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Le Corroller T., Santiago E., Deniel A. et al.
