Effect of Selective Strengthening of Peroneus Longus on Pain , Joint Alignment and Foot Function in Hallux Valgus

Cairo University60 enrolled

Overview

Purpose of this study is to measure Change in Hallux valgus angle (HVA )as measured by kinovea software Change in pain as measured by numerical pain rating scale (NPRS) Change in function as measured by Foot function index (FFI )Egyptian version With the peroneus longus strengthening exercise versus the use of conventional physical therapy programme in cases of hallux valgus patients

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Hallux valgus angle HVA

Hallux valgus angle will be measures musing kinovea software

Time frame: Baseline , 6 weeks (after study completion )

Level of pain

Will be measured using numerical pain rating scale Where 0 represents no pain and 10 represents worst pain imaginable

Time frame: Baseline , 6 weeks after study completion

Foot function

Will be measured using Foot Function Index FFI Egyptian version Which is divided into 3 sub categories Pain 0 no pain , 10 worst pain Disability 0 least 10 worst Activity limitation 0 no limitation , 10 worst limitation For the total score, the minimum score is 0% (no pain or difficulty), and maximum score is 100% (worst pain and extreme difficulty requiring assistance).

Time frame: Baseline , 6 weeks after study completion
