Summary

The effectiveness of conservative treatment of hallux valgus deformity has not been sufficiently explored yet. The aim of this study was to assess the effect of the toe-spread-out exercise on the amplitude and frequency pattern in a surface electromyographic examination in patients with hallux valgus and in people without the deformity. An additional objective is the assessment of nerve conduction in an electroneurography and the assessment of range of motion in a clinical examination.

Conditions

  • Hallux Valgus

Interventions

OTHER

toe-spread-out exercise

The therapeutic intervention lasted 14 days and focused on doing the TSO exercise. This exercise was performed unilaterally under the supervision of a qualified physiotherapist. The starting position of the TSO exercise was the sitting position with the knee joint and hip bent at 90 degrees. The exercise consisted of 3 consecutive phases: dorsiflexion of the toes keeping the metatarsal heads and the heel on the ground, moving the fifth toe down and in a lateral direction, moving the big toe down and abduction. The final position needs to be maintained for 5 seconds. The whole sequence was repeated 200 times a day.
