This study was conducted to investigate the effect of ankle muscle strengthening exercise using BOSU ball and taping on static and dynamic plantar pressure in patients with hallux valgus. Subjects were 26 men and women in their twenties with hallux valgus, and they were randomly assigned to a taping group (TG; n=13) and an ankle strengthening group (ASG; n=13). Each group received the appropriate intervention over a total of 4 weeks, and static and dynamic plantar pressure were measured before and after the intervention. Independent T-test was performed to examine the difference in the amount of change between groups, and paired-sample T-test was performed to determine whether the difference between the pre-post values within the group was significant. The statistical significance level was set as α=.05. As for the ratio of the total body weight of the foot (Foot), the amount of change in the ASG of the left foot was significantly decreased compared to the TG within the group (p<.05). Significantly increased (p<.05). As for the degree of pronation of the foot (MP/change ratio), the amount of change in the TG of the right foot was significantly decreased compared to the ASG (p<.05), and in the force of the foot, the TG of the left foot was the amount of change within the group compared to the ASG. was significantly increased (p<.05), and in the group-to-group change, the amount of change in TG was significantly different than that of ASG (p<.05). Therefore, it can be considered that ankle strengthening exercise using bosu ball and taping are insufficient to give effective change to patients with hallux valgus.

PURPOSE: In this study, we sought to investigate the effect of conservative ankle strengthening exercise programs using a Bosu® ball or taping, on the hallux valgus angle and the pain of hallux valgus patients in their 20s. METHODS: The hallux valgus angle, balance, and pain after measuring the hallux valgus were measured to select suitable subjects. In the ankle strengthening exercise group (ASG) an ankle strengthening exercise program using a Bosu® ball was performed for two sessions weekly for four weeks and the taping group (TG) was given Kinesiotaping® for two sessions weekly, two days per session, for four weeks. Before and after the experiment, a footprint was used to examine the changes in the hallux valgus angle and the visual analog scale (VAS) was used to measure pain. RESULTS: An evaluation of the post-experiment changes in the hallux valgus angle and pain showed statistically significant improvement in both groups. There was no statistically significant improvement between groups. CONCLUSION: These results show that both ankle strengthening exercises and Kinesiotaping® have a positive effect on the hallux valgus angle and pain.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the foot pressure of subjects with hallux valgus following conservative management. Methods: The subjects (20 females) were divided into 2 groups; Hallux valgus group (10) and Control group (10) who could evaluate questionnaire & weight bearing X-ray. All the participants were evaluated distribution of foot pressure by Zebris FDM-S system with conservative management (taping therapy and hallux valgus device) during single-limb stance. Results: The Hallux valgus group (HVG) was significantly different than Control group (CG) in hallux valgus angle(p<0.05). The Hallux valgus group with Foot Device (HVG-FD), Hallux valgus group with Taping (HVG-Tp) and Hallux valgus group with Foot device and Taping (HVG-FD&Tp) was not significantly different than CG in hallux valgus angle (p<0.05). The HVG was not significantly different than CG in forefoot (p1, p2, p3), significantly different than CG in rearfoot (p7) about foot pressure during single-limb stance (p<0.05). The HVG-FO and HVG-FO and TP was significantly different than HVG in forefoot (p1, p2, p3), on significantly different than HVG in rearfoot (p7) about foot pressure during single-limb stance (p<0.05). There was significantly correlation HVG-FO and HVG-FO & TP in forefoot (p1, p2, p3) was negative correlation (p<0.05) and in rearfoot (p7) was positive correlation (p<0.05). Conclusion: This study showed that hallux valgus were effected hallux valgus angle and foot pressure by various treatment methods during single-limb stance. Further study is needed to measure various age and work with hallux valgus for clinical application.
