The aim of this study was to determine the effects of 8 weeks of supervised in addition to stretching exercise resisted concentric and eccentric contraction protocol of toe spread out exercise on the angular severity of hallux valgus deformity, changes in the cross-sectional area, stiffness and thickness of the abductor hallucis muscle, electromyographic activities, plantar pressure distribution, foot morphology and gait characteristics, balance and physical performance at the end of the medium and long term.

Hallux Valgus Angle
A radiographic measurement (°) The angle created between the lines that longitudinally bisect the proximal phalanx and the first metatarsal.
Intermetatarsal angle
A radiographic measurement (°) The term intermetatarsal angle alone typically refers to assessment of the first and second metatarsals
Hallux Interphalangeal Angle
A radiographic measurement (°) The hallux interphalangeal angle is between the proximal and distal phalanx of the great toe and serves for the evaluation of toe deformity at the level of the first interphalangeal joint.
Distal Metatarsal Articular Angle
A radiographic measurement (°) The distal metatarsal articular angle (DMAA) evaluates the relationship between the longitudinal axis and the articular surface of the first metatarsophalangeal joint and thus metatarsophalangeal coverage or joint congruity on a weight-bearing dorsoplantar radiograph of the foot.
