U.S., Sept. 18 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07177768) titled 'Acute Effects of Prolonged Walking on Hallux Valgus' on Sept. 10.
Brief Summary: 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.
