Brief Summary:
Hallux valgus is a progressive foot deformity characterized by lateral deviation of the great toe and medial displacement of the first metatarsal head. While pain is a common symptom among individuals with HV, alterations in plantar pressure distribution and impaired balance are also frequently observed. These symptoms and biomechanical changes can negatively impact posture and gait mechanics. The aim of this study is to investigate the acute effects of prolonged walking on pain, balance, posture, and gait in individuals with hallux valgus deformity.
Detailed Description:
Hallux valgus is a progressive foot deformity commonly seen in adults. Patients typically report pain, most prominently in the first metatarsophalangeal joint, which is often exacerbated by weight-bearing activities such as walking. Due to the deformity, alterations in plantar pressure distribution occur, which in turn affect plantar sensory input and postural control. This may lead to decreased postural stability, impaired balance, and compromised control during walking. HV is also thought to accelerate biomechanical changes that negatively impact gait patterns. The aim of this study is to evaluate the acute effects of prolonged walking on pain, balance, posture, and gait in individuals with hallux valgus deformity. A total of 32 participants, including individuals with HV and healthy controls, will be included in the study. All participants will walk on a treadmill for 60 minutes. Assessments will be conducted at three time points: before walking, immediately after walking, and 20 minutes post-walking.
