Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to comparatively investigate the immediate effects of rigid taping and kinesiological taping applications on foot biomechanics in patients with hallux valgus (HV). The main questions it aims to answer are:

Which taping approach (rigid or kinesiology) produces the most effective and fastest treatment response in the management of hallux valgus?

Researchers will compare two taping methods to investigate which method offers a more effective and faster treatment response in terms of foot biomechanics.

Participants will:

1. Individuals aged 18-65 years
2. Individuals with mild to moderate HV in one or both feet
3. HV patients who do not require/are not suitable for surgery or who refuse surgery and are referred/apply for conservative treatment
4. Individuals who have not engaged in any strenuous exercise or activity (such as running, walking, weight or resistance training, yoga, pilates, aerobics, step, etc.) in the last 2 days before evaluation.
