Application Dorn´s method Prouzová Púry in hallux valgus deformity
MAŤHOVÁ, Aneta
Hallux valgus is one of the most frequent static deformities of the forefoot while genetic predisposition has considerable influence here. This deformity is closely associated with the emergence of the transversal flatfoot. Broadened forefoot causes serious difficulties not only as a cosmetic defect, but also because it is painful when weight is put upon it. Also, calluses and blisters significantly reduce the selection of suitable footwear. The main goal of this paper is to summarize information on etiology, morphology and treatment options for hallux valgus diagnosis. The other objective is to apply the therapy of Prouzová Pury Dorn Method and to assess the effect of this treatment. The data for therapy evaluation are obtained from podobarographs and radiographs, kinesiologic examination and from patient surveys. The theoretical part is focused on anatomical structure of the foot, ontogenetic and phylogenetic development of the foot, kinesiology, foot function, muscle groups connecting the bottom of the foot with other body parts. The largest section is devoted to the foot examination techniques, the characteristics of the hallux valgus diagnosis, its etiology, prevention and treatment methods ? both conservative and surgical. As regards conservative treatment, I deal especially with Prouzová Pury Dorn Method which is also used in the practical part of this paper. The concluding part of the paper shows the application of Prouzová Pury Dorn Method therapy and its effect on the body movement system of four patients. The therapy was applied for the period of fifteen weeks. Processed and evaluated instrumental measurements, kinesiologic examination and patient surveys should clarify the changes caused by the treatment. Research results are summarized in the discussion and conclusion part.
