Abstract

Background: The aim of the current study is to investigate the effects of activity-based exercise intervention for hallux valgus deformity.
Materials and Methods: Forty women with hallux valgus deformity were included in the study and the participants were divided into two groups as intervention and control (intervention group 37.8 ± 7.20 years, control group 37.3±2.61 years). Before and after the 8-week intervention programme hallux valgus angle, activity-specific balance scale, dynamic gait index and foot function index were measured.
Results: According to the results of the study in the intervention group, the hallux valgus angle decreased significantly in both the right and left feet after the treatment, and a significant improvement was obtained in the activity specific balance confidence scale, foot function index, pain, disability, activity limitation, and total score of foot function index (p<0.001). When the intervention and control groups were compared after the intervention, a significant difference was found in favor of the intervention group in the foot function index and pain, disability and total score parameters of the dynamic gait index (p<0.001).
Conclusions: The results of our research reveal that the exercise applied for hallux valgus is effective in terms of balance, walking and function. It has been demonstrated that activity-based exercise is a good option in the treatment of hallux valgus, which is a very common deformity that should be taken seriously.

Kadınlarda Hallux Valgus Deformitesine Yönelik Aktivite Odaklı Egzersiz Müdahalesi

Abstract

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı, halluks valgus deformitesi için aktiviteye dayalı egzersiz müdahalesinin etkilerini araştırmaktır.
Materyal ve Metod: Çalışmaya halluks valgus deformitesi olan 40 kadın dahil edildi ve katılımcılar müdahale ve kontrol olarak iki gruba ayrıldı (müdahale grubu 37.8 ± 7.20 yıl, kontrol grubu 37.3±2.61 yıl). Müdahale grubunda 8 haftalık egzersiz programı öncesi ve sonrasında halluks valgus açısı, aktiviteye özel denge skalası, dinamik yürüme indeksi ve ayak fonksiyon indeksi ölçüldü.
Bulgular: Müdahale grubunda egzersiz sonrasında hem sağ, hem de sol ayakta halluks valgus açısında azalma ve aktiviteye özgü denge güvenlik ölçeği, dinamik yürüme indeksi, ayak fonksiyon indeksinin, ağrı, yetersizlik, aktivite kısıtlılığı ve toplam skor parametrelerinde anlamlı gelişme bulundu (p<0.001).
Müdahale ve kontrol grupları karşılaştırıldığında, ayak fonksiyon indeksinin ağrı ile yetersizlik ve toplam skor parametrelerinde müdahale grubu lehine anlamlı fark bulundu (p<0,001).
Sonuç: Araştırmamızın sonuçları, hallux valgusa yönelik olarak uygulanan egzersizin denge, yürüme ve fonksiyon açısından etkili olduğunu ortaya koymaktadır. Toplumda özellikle kadınlarda sık karşılaşılan ve ciddiye alınması gereken bir deformite olan halluks valgus tedavisinde aktiviteye dayalı egzersizin iyi bir seçenek olduğu ortaya konmuştur.
