Orthotic Impact on MTP Alignment in Hallux Valgus
Sponsor: University of Valencia
Summary
This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of an external corrector in realigning the first metatarsophalangeal joint in patients with mild to moderate Hallux Abducto Valgus, according to the Manchester scale. Changes in valgus angle will be assessed through radiographs, along with pain, comfort and adherence, comparing results with a control group.

Hallux Valgus Orthosis
This study evaluates the effectiveness of an external hallux valgus orthosis in realigning the first metatarsophalangeal joint in patients with mild to moderate HAV. Two radiographic measurements of the valgus angle will be taken: at baseline and after 3 months of daily orthosis use. Participants will receive instructions for proper placement and adjustment. Secondary outcomes include pain (VAS), comfort, satisfaction, plantar pressure analysis (static/dynamic), device fit, and adherence. Data will be collected by podiatrists and anonymized for analysis.
