About this trial
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.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
1
Pain intensity
Pain intensity will be evaluated with visual analog scale (VAS). Patients will be asked to mark the intensity of the pain they feel on a 10 cm line, where "0" means no pain and "10" means the worst pain.
Time frame
Baseline, immediately after intervention, 20 minutes after intervention2
Pressure pain threshold
It will be measured with algometer. Higher values indicate a higher perceived pain threshold.
Time frame
Baseline, immediately after intervention, 20 minutes after intervention3
Single-leg stance test
The single leg stability will be assessed by using Biodex Balance System® (Biodex Medical Systems, Inc. USA). Low values of the stability index indicate better balance and stability.
Time frame
Baseline, immediately after intervention, 20 minutes after intervention4
Postural Assessment
Posture will be assessed using mobile application. It marks and measures angles at the ear, shoulder, anterior superior iliac spine (ASIS), knee, and ankle alignment to identify any pathological deviations or asymmetries.
