Summary

The main aim of this study was to find the initial effects of kinesiotaping on pain and joint alignment used in the conservative treatment of hallux valgus.

22 female patients diagnosed with hallux valgus participated in this study. Kinesiotaping was implemented after the first assessment and renewed in the 3rd, 7th and 10th days. The main outcome measures were the pain hallux adduction angle. Kinesiotaping may be an effective treatment option in decreasing pain and deformity in hallux valgus deformity who are conservatively treated. In future studies this method might be shown in larger sample groups at longer periods of treatment comparing with alternative treatment approaches like exercise or orthotics.
