A Study on the Biomechanical Mechanisms of Orthotic/Physical Training Correction of Hallux Valgus and Its Impact on the Lower Limbs

Recruiting now · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Hallux Valgus Deformity

In brief

The study population of this project is mainly young people. Our goal is to investigate the kinematic and kinetic characterization brought about by different conservative treatment modalities for hallux valgus. The main study involves recruiting volunteers, grouping them into 12-week interventions with orthotics or foot exercises, and analyzing the kinematic and kinetic alterations in young and middle-aged subjects before, during, and after cessation of the interventions by motion capture, surface electromyography, and musculoskeletal ultrasound. A database of human biomechanical characteristics was constructed through in-vivo exercise techniques to analyze changes in the biomechanical characteristics of the population with hallux valgus after the use of different intervention methods.
