evaluated in this research. Hallux valgus angle was measured using a goniometer. Foot fun </span> <span style="font-size:12px;font-family:PFAgoraSansPro;">ction, dynamic balance and static balance were evaluated by the forefoot subscale of the
American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society Scale, Timed Up & Go Test and single leg
stance, respectively, and their relations with hallux valgus were analysed. </span> </p> <span style="font-size:12px;"> </span> <p> <span style="font-size:12px;font-family:PFAgoraSansPro;font-weight:700;">Results: </span> <span style="font-size:12px;font-family:PFAgoraSansPro;">Hallux valgus angle values were 17.32±11.29 degree for right foot and 16.45±10.65°
for left foot. No significant relationship was found between hallux valgus angle (right and
left) and static and dynamic balance (p>0.05). However, hallux valgus angles of right and left
foot were correlated with the scale scores of American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society
scale (r=-0. 34, p=0.01; r=-0. 38,p=0.005, respectively). </span> </p> <span style="font-size:12px;"> </span> <p> <span style="font-size:12px;font-family:PFAgoraSansPro;font-weight:700;">Discussion: </span> <span style="font-size:12px;font-family:PFAgoraSansPro;">According to these results, the severity of hallux valgus itself does not influence
balance, although it partially affects the functional ability of the forefoot in older men.  </span> </p> </div> </div> </div>}, number={2}, publisher={Türkiye Fizyoterapistler Derneği}
